| I think your drive is marked "dirty". Please mount/umount it in Linux
| and try again.
| 
| BTW: ext3 is compatible w/ext2 *ONLY* when the dirty bit is unset. When
|      it is set, journal rollback is necessary which only ext3 can handle.


	to check ext2/3 file system in FreeBSD, checkout the
	port
	/usr/ports/sysutils/fsck_ext2fs

	It worked for me.
