>Description:
Fedora 9 (and perhaps other distros) has changed ext2fs in a way that is not backwards compatible (changing the inode size from 128bytes to 256bytes). This renders ext2fs partitions unmountable by FreeBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install Fedora 9 and les the installer format its destination partition as ext3
>Fix:
Formatted the partition with gparted (under debian etch) prior to running the Fedora 9 installer, and made sure to not format the partition during the installation.
