it's easy enough to slice up the disks, no need for using dangerously dedicated mode. Windows doesn't understand FreeBSDs UFS2 and will just mark it as an 'unkown' vulme and largely ignore it.

If you wish to share data on hard disks installed into the same machine with multiple OSes on that machine (e.g. multi-boot, dual-boot, triple-boot, etc) -> use a file system that all can understand.


For example my desktop triple boots Windows XP, GNU/Linux, and FreeBSD. Data storage and sharing is done via a set of FAT32 formated logical drives.
