I tried the e2fsprogs port recently but it wasn't working properly and I put it aside because it was not a priority item for me (at least I decided it was in a shape that wouldn't allow submission at that time). I haven't received much support from the e2fsprogs upstream yet, but I've managed to get Tytso to accept a make -> $(MAKE) patch three weeks ago so at least the Makefile will properly use gmake in 1.35, one patch less that the FreeBSD port shall need in the future. > fsck.ext2 works for me (and saved my life, now I can multiboot into my > linux again).

As to the device size issue, I surmise that issues started with the 4.8->5.1 upgrade for me. Might be a devfs side effect, I may be able to see if e2fsprogs works on 4.8 though by nuking the swap partition. > AFAIK, this is the same with the old (1.27) version of the port. > The only difference: 1.27 couldn't check my filesystem due to > 'unsupported extensions', which the new version seems to handle. has_journal or needs_recovery (ext3), perhaps? :-> -- Matthias Andree
