ext2fs used to work quite well on FreeBSD, it's only quite growse
recently, in 5.2. The ext2fs on-disk layout hasn't changed lately (well,
except for the journal which is transparent when Linux unmounted the
file system cleanly and the HTREE (something with the same goals as
dirhash) which isn't in wide use yet as it's only recently getting
stable in Linux).

FreeBSD 5.2 ext2fs currently only works if you do read-only mounts and
umount before shutting down.
