Be a bit # careful with this - the ext2fs code has a tendency to lag behind # changes and not be exercised very much, so mounting read/write could # be dangerous (and even mounting read only could result in panics.) # options EXT2FS So it involves a kernel rebuild. I've done this once so I could recover a Linux box for a friend that deleted libc ;-), so it does work. However, that was about a year and a half ago. I'm not sure how EXT2FS has evolved.
