Add the line options "EXT2FS" to your kernel config file and recompile. If you want to create an ext2 filesystem, create it under Linux. the ext2fs support under FreeBSD is mainly for people migrating from Linux to FreeBSD, so they can copy their old data over to a FFS filesystem. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
