I have an iMac 11,1 computer with OS X and FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE installed. I 
use FreeBSD 90% or more and OS X just for listening music and converting video 
files which on FreeBSD with ffmpeg I have problems. I have external hard drive 
from the subject on which I have one partition for OS X backup and other I 
like to use for both. I have many video files on FreeBSD which I want to copy 
on external drive and than use them on OS X.

Thanks.
