Hello; On Aug. 22 2010 Zheng Liu posted a patch to add read-only support for ext4 extents in our ext2fs driver that was part of his GSoC. The ext2fs module has received many enhancements, mainly to make it look and behave more like the base UFS1 and the old patch doesn't apply anymore. I updated the patch just cleaning up some things that are not strictly necessary and adapting it to the underlying changes. http://people.freebsd.org/~pfg/patches/patch-ext2-extents The patch should apply cleanly in both 10-current and 9-stable. No review of this patch has been done, beyond compiling on amd64, and I have no idea if it works at all. AFAICT, there was no feedback on the original patch so I am actually wondering if this feature is desired at all. I will be glad to keep it around for a while and eventually update it but committing it is not yet in the horizon until we see more interest and at least some testing. best regards, Pedro.
