Even flippant comments bring results :-) Thanks for the info.

Well, it's a sourceforge project, so it isn't by Microsoft.

If you're concerned about data integrity, then you could try:

1) Mount only one shared FreeBSD partition using this software
and
2) Make this partition on a separate disk slice (or even disk) from your 
regular system.

It's either that or FAT32 (with no real concept of file ownership, file 
permissions, or ability to change times).
