FreeBSD's ext2fs doesn't handle extended attributes at all, except it is supposed to disallow mounting of file systems that use them (even for read-only mounts). The set of features known to FreeBSD's ext2fs is smaller than the set known Linux's ext2fs and is much smaller than the set of features supported. The former was last up to date 6-7 years ago. All features newer than this are supposed to prevent mounting. ext2fs in Linux also does a better job of downgrading attributes so that mounting is possible. Bruce
