Its installer will see that the filesystem exists, that it's ext2, but whenever you try to mount, you get nothing -- a very similar failure mode to the FreeBSD ext2fs driver. Again, it sounds like the author is actively maintaining it, so it might be worth contacting him to pool resources. cheers, BMS
