ext2fs - ext2/ext3/ext4 file system
SYNOPSIS

options EXT2FS
To load as a kernel loadable module:
kldload ext2fs
DESCRIPTION
The ext2fs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to access ext2 file
systems and its derivatives. It currently implements most of the
features required by ext3 and ext4 file systems. Support for Extended
Attributes in ext4 is experimental. Journalling and encryption are
currently not supported.
EXAMPLES
To mount a ext2fs volume located on /dev/ada1s1:
mount -t ext2fs /dev/ada1s1 /mnt
SEE ALSO
nmount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8)
HISTORY
The ext2fs driver first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.
AUTHORS
The ext2fs kernel implementation is derived from code written, or
modified, by Godmar Back using the UFS CSRG sources for CMU Mach.
John Dyson did the initial port to FreeBSD. Aditya Sarawgi merged
important parts of the allocation code from a clean-room NetBSD
implementation. Zheng Liu and Fedor Uporov implemented the read and
write support respectively for ext4 filesystems. The FreeBSD community
has contributed a huge amount of modifications.
