Hi, I'm running SXCE build 111 and was wondering how to get ext2/3 support for 
it?

I discovered these pages:

http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/9.html#s9.24

http://opensolaris.org/os/project/ext3/

which leads me to believe that experimental support ie, an alpha package called 
ext2fs has been ported to Open Solaris and SXCE???

However when I tried to mount my external USB drive using vfstab with the line:

/dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0       -       /mnt/usb0       ext2fs  -       -       ro,soft

it doesn't seem to like the ext2fs option for file system. It seems that 
support either hasn't been added or hasn't been turned on.

What can I use to get ext2/3 support??

I have tried downloading the Belenix file: 
http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWpart.tar.gz

but couldn't see any packages to pkgadd? I have an empty install dir with 
copyright info in there and a /reloc dir which contains binaries for /usr but 
how do I install if this is the correct method to use for ext(n) support????

I will be triple booting with FreeBSD 7.2 and probably Linux as well so ext2/3 
is a good option for me to have so I can use the same user space! I know ZFS is 
compatible with BSD but my machine only has 1GB of RAM which after attempting 
on my 512MB laptop previously was so painful the laptop now has UFS which is 
what I plan to do to / in SXCE on my new install.

Can anyone give me any advice? Many thanks!
