Mounting a UFS (FreeBSD) slice on Linux

1. As usual, open up a terminal and login as root: $sudo bash

2. To check which location is the UFS drive name, enter 'fdisk -l'. You should see a line such as /dev/sdc1. Note this down.

@ As an alternative, go to System Administration -> Partition Editor to find out the drive name.

3. Enter mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdc1 /media/freebsd to mount the slice as partition under Linux.

* You can just create a new folder under /media or /mnt, in this case, freebsd.

Streaming Video from your PC (Media Server) to your iPhone/iPod Touch

There are basically two popular streaming media server such as TVersity and Air Video Server (AVS). However, I choose to use AVS as it support conversion ON-THE-FLY. In other words, you can stream and watch the video without needing to wait for the conversion to be completed. I believe AVS is the only media server so far that support such functionality. I didn't experience any lagging at all when running on Wireless G signal and AVS is running on Intel Core 2 Duo laptop.

Link for Air Video Server.

You'll also need to download AVS app for iPhone/iPod Touch from iTunes Store after installing AVS on your PC/MAC. There are both free and paid version of the app. The free version only allow a maximum of 4 videos to be shown on the list.

However if you wanted to try TVersity you can read the guide here.
