Hi, I have revised the e2fsprogs port, and I think it is about getting ready for prime time, so it is looking for more testers than it has had now. If you have ext2fs file systems from Linux and backed them up, please test the e2fsprogs rev02 port from: http://mandree.home.pages.de/freebsd/e2fsprogs/ and let me know how it goes, EVEN IF IT GOES WELL. It works fine for me on FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.2, I hope it does for you, but have no feedback yet from non-x86 machines. Even if you don't have ext2 file systems, you can help me, if you don't have an x86 machine: build the port, it will run the e2fsprogs self-test suite a part of the build, and report if it has passed its tests. After that, please run: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/e2fs.img bs=1m count=64m mke2fs /var/tmp/e2fs.img # vnconfig-based tests here, see below e2fsck -f /var/tmp/e2fs.img rm -f /var/tmp/e2fs.img If you are acquainted with vnconfig, try to mount the file system after mke2fs (mount_ext2fs), do some operations, unmount, and use e2fsck. Remember to report error logs in case of trouble and your FreeBSD version and processor type ("uname -a" should do). Thanks, -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
