Answer 2: >>>There is read-only support for the 4.2BSD ufs filesystem.

Perhaps one day we'll have some ext2fs support in BSD based OSs so we could do the same thing. This would make crossdevelopment easier. The story I heard is ext2fs has been adopted as the filesystem for GNU's operating system (when it gets loose). Any comments or info? (Keep the my filesystem is better than your filesystem to a minimum please 8->) Both ext2fs and the BSD FFS have been very reliable in my estimation. Both are a hell of a lot better than v7's fs through SVR3.x.
