Can FreeBSD6.3 Generic Kernels Mount a Linux EXT3 FS?

2008-09-08 Thread Martin McCormick
The subject line is the question. I am not sure if it isn't
working because I am using the wrong nomenclature for the file
system I need to mount or if I need to do some more to the
kernel which, right now, is just the standard FreeBSD generic
build which usually has everything one normally needs.

Thank you.

My thanks to a member of this list  who showed me what I was
doing wrong. in an example, the command is

mount -t ext2fs /dev/[yourstoragedevicename] /mnt

I had originally been typing -t ext2 which equals nothing to
FreeBSD.

The GENERIC kernel maybe have no ext2fs module. You can install it by:
cd /usr/src/sys/module/ext2fs  make  make install clean
and load the module
kldload ext2fs

If you do not have mount_ext2fs tool:
cd /usr/src/sbin/mount_ext2fs  make  make install clean

then, try to mount the ext2 partition.
