Charlie Root <root@karun.dambiec.com> types: > Is it possible to mount an ext2 drive on freebsd? Yes. You'll have to build a custom kernel with the EXT2FS option enabled. Note the warning in LINT: # Add support for the EXT2FS filesystem of Linux fame. Be a bit # careful with this - the ext2fs code has a tendency to lag behind # changes and not be exercised very much, so mounting read/write could # be dangerous (and even mounting read only could result in panics.) There have been periods when file systems built on current Linux kernels couldn't be mounted. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
