FreeBSD and ext3?
Hi,
I just installed FreeBSD for the first time last night. I want to use it as a NFS server however all my data which is on another hard disk is in ext3/2 partitions. Can BSD mount these? I'm not having much look using the mount command and the -t ext3 option. Thanks, Paddy |
Apparently FreeBSD is not very good with ext3 partitions. If you are lucky to get it to work, you can only access ext3 in read only mode. Google search for "freebsd+ext3" and you will get more info.

Thanks for the info, is it the same with all variants of BSD or are there any BSD's that support ext3/2?

FreeBSD 6.0 will mount them fine, just remember that the linux partition will show as a slice most likely some thing like '/dev/ad1s1'
it's a long shot but have you added a line in your /etc/fstab a bit like '/dev/ad1s1 /mnt/ad1s1 auto rw,noauto 0 0' works fine for me! :D |

/dev/da0s1c /media/ext ext2 rw,auto 1 2 |
Ext3 must be mounted as ext2.
Side Effect : Journal will be in a bad state when you run Linux again that can fix by fsck. If you want to make ext3 again : try 128 Byte inodes. Find your slice/partition: Code:
fdisk -p /dev/adX Code:
% su Code:
mount -o ro -t ext2fs /dev/adXsY /mnt If you encounter following error: Code:
mount: /mnt: Bad file descriptor http://pastebin.ca/raw/1280738 If there're more errors reffer to following links Ext2 inode size patch: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...er/046758.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...er/046916.html FreeBSD 256-byte inode support http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...er/025912.html Bad File Descriptor Errors: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ne/176506.html Mounting Linux Partitions: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ay/174588.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ly/178219.html |
