Hello -stable & -fs,

With the upcoming 4.2 freeze, what is the status of any
improvements in support for the Linux ext2 filesystem?

As of 4.1.1-stable 2000/10/22, the only ext2 filesystem
FreeBSD can mount r/w is an "older version" & without some
"features...("sparse superblock," etc.)"  I *can* make a
filesystem (using Linux) as the "older" version, & r/w
mounting & use seems to be ok..

For now (with -stable as of 2000/10/22) Mounting the "newer
version" ext2 filesystem readonly seems to work ok.

Thanks,

-kc
