The ext2fs on-disk layout hasn't changed lately (well, except for the journal which is transparent when Linux unmounted the file system cleanly and the HTREE (something with the same goals as dirhash) which isn't in wide use yet as it's only recently getting stable in Linux). FreeBSD 5.2 ext2fs currently only works if you do read-only mounts and umount before shutting down. -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
