A while back, I submitted a patch for PR kern/124621, which allows the mounting of an ext2(3) filesystem created with an inode size other than 128. The e2fsprogs' default is now 256, so file systems created on newer Linux distributions or with the port will not be mountable. I was hopeful this would get committed in time for 7.1-RELEASE (and 6.4-RELEASE), however the PR remains open. If there is an issue with the patch itself, I would be glad to fix it. I'm posting to fs@ because hopefully some folks more experienced with file system/kernel code can have a look and see if the patch is ok to commit. I've seen a few people in ##freebsdhelp on Freenode as well as #freebsdhelp on EFnet with this problem, and have had them test this patch out with success (and no obvious adverse effects), so I was hoping it could committed in time for 7.1-RELEASE. Since 6.4 is so close to release, I'm not so sure about that. Anyway, I would appreciate it if the patch could get some review to see if it can be committed in time. Regards, Josh
