UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Sorry, maybe I don`t understand something, but how can I use cygwin to access FreeBSD partition from Windows (same computer, as I told earlier)?
And isn`t it just for work with Windows+Linux system?


So if you now the way, maybe you can write a short step-by-step guide? :-)

I`m starting to think, that some peoples have some soft to access FreeBSD from Windows partition, but they had programmed it themselwes, and they don`t publish those programs on the internet. :-)

BTW: as you suggested, I posted my question in ARS... :-)

OK, it isn`t mortally required... I can live withuot accessing my FreeBSD partition from Win`s. :-)

AFAIK there are not any utilities to mount UFS or UFS2 filesystems from Win32.

Well I was thinking that since Windows doesn't seem to be able to acess your UFS partition, but *nix can.
So setting up cygwin for a psuedo-*nix environment may give you some form of access to you partitions from your win32 environment.
I'm not sure how viable it would actually be but it's the only idea I can conjour up because I don't have a similar system to try it out on.
