The ext2 support that can be custom compiled into the freebsd kernel is
definitely sufficient to mount and read data from ext2 formatted
partitions.  i have heard though, and perhaps someone on this list might

journal aware) for writing on an ext3 (with journal) partition can ruin
the journals on the filesystem.
