Hi,

I just tested the ext2fuse project on FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE as of today 
and found that it works for read/write on an ext3 filesystem. The inode 
size was 128 -- I haven't exercised dynamic inode sizes.

ext2fuse project:            http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fuse
Required FreeBSD patches:    
http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/dump/ext2fuse-freebsd.patch

Steps:
1. fetch 
http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ext2fuse/ext2fuse-src-0.8.1.tar.gz
2. tar xvf ext2fuse-src-0.8.1.tar.gz
3. patch -i ext2fuse-0.8.1-freebsd.patch
4. cd ext2fuse-src-0.8.1
5. aclocal ; automake ; autoconf
6. ./configure && gmake

Performance seems quite slow, it could probably benefit from being 
ported to use UBLIO as ntfs-3g for FreeBSD has.

I'm going to leave this thing for others to play with, this was a 20 
minute bunk-off from other work. It shouldn't take much effort to create 
a port around it.

cheers
BMS
