Is there such a beast?  This would be a big big help to those who
administer Linux boxes from FreeBSD machines.  And, it would make
life easier for those of us who dual-boot with FreeBSD and
Linux.  Basically, I'd like to see a port of e2fsck in the ports
collection.

Also, I had this weird problem in the past.  See, I've got
another IDE disk on my primary slave IDE controller (1.1 GB).  I
installed RedHat Linux on there.  Basically, that disk had 3
Linux partitions:

120M 		/	/dev/hdb1
120M		swap	/dev/hdb5
~800MB		/usr	/dev/hdb6

Don't ask;  the RedHat installer partitioned it this way. 
Anyhow, when I do fdisk /dev/rad1, FBSD's fsck only sees 2
partitions.  Partition one is the 120M / partition, which I can
mount OK.  But, fdisk claims the 2nd partition is a 920 MB
extended DOS partition.  Hmmm...  well, it may be that my second
disk needs low-level formatted or something.
