I tried to find that for original poster Xavier (cc restored in case Xavier not on questions@), using cd /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports echo `find . -type f | xargs grep -i -l fsck` | xargs grep -i -l ext3 & got: ./emulators/linux_base-c6/pkg-plist ./emulators/linux_base-f10/pkg-plist ./emulators/linux_base-fc4/pkg-plist ./emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3/pkg-plist.i486 ./emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3/pkg-plist.i686 ./sysutils/e2fsprogs/Makefile COMMENT?= Utilities & library to manipulate ext2/3/4 filesystems Xavier, I suggest try /usr/ports/sysutils/e2fsprogs I saw this warning building on 8.2-RELEASE: If you format ext2 file systems with other operating systems, make sure that mke2fs is called with "-I 128" for partitions that you plan to share with FreeBSD. (Not tried building it on 9 as I'm rebuilding machine now.) /usr/local/share/doc/e2fsprogs/ COPYING http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net Says there it supports ext3 & 4 too.
