contrary to you, i didn't remove EXT2FS from my kernel Looking at GENERIC in 8.0, I don't see ext2 at all. Just as module. Probably could be added. Further reading and thinkering, I should be probably fine loading ext2fs module on amd64 8.0, then mounting it via: mount -t ext2fs /dev/da0s1

Howdy! surely there might be a mistake in how data are parsed, but remember that the remaining time is computed based on remaining capacity and recent average current. So, if for any reason (cpu/disk/network load decreases, screensaver, etc.) the current decreases, the reported time goes up.
