Re: NetBSD-5, snapshot or head?

) Hu ? NetBSD has been able to read/write ext2fs since ext2fs support was
) introduced. Maybe you mean ext2fs with some specific feature turned on ?

This was apparently it.  My Linux partition had 256-byte inodes.
Now NetBSD is good with Linux ext2fs partitions, using NetBSD-5 (stable) or 
head.

FreeBSD was able to mount my Linux partition but gave me "Bad file descriptor" 
when I tried to read it.
Now, as of 8.1 or 8.2, FreeBSD is good with Linux ext2fs partitions.
