I switched from Redhat 6.2 to FreeBSD recently, and I have a hard drive that
is still ext2fs.  I have been trying to mount it as:

mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad2 /blah

and when I do, I get the message

ext2fs: rad2: wrong magic number 0 (expected 0xef53)
ext2fs: /dev/ad2: invalid argument

Now, I have added to my kernel config the line from LINT that says

options	EXT2FS

and read the Linux+FreeBSD mini how-to on linuxdoc.org, but I still have no
idea what this means. If anyone knows of what I can do to fix this, I would
be most grateful.

Thank you in advance,

Marc
