EXT2FS(5) File Formats Manual EXT2FS(5) NAME ext2fs -- ext2/ext3/ext4 file system SYNOPSIS To link into the kernel: 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 fea- tures required by ext3 and ext4 file systems. Support for Extended At- tributes in ext4 is experimental. Journalling and encryption are cur- rently 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 modi- fied, by Godmar Back using the UFS CSRG sources for CMU Mach. John Dyson did the initial port to FreeBSD. Aditya Sarawgi merged im- portant parts of the allocation code from a clean-room NetBSD implemen- tation. Zheng Liu and Fedor Uporov implemented the read and write sup- port respectively for ext4 filesystems. The FreeBSD community has con- tributed a huge amount of modifications. The initial version of this manual page was written by Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc@FreeBSD.org>. FreeBSD 14.3 December 30, 2018 EXT2FS(5)
