[8.0-RELEASE] ext2fs mount fails

[Mikle Krutov]

Sorry for such a long time no-write.
I've got to the PC with freebsd installed, and managed to copy all of
data from ext2fs to zfs via linux-livecd.
What data about this two partitions should be sent to fbsd-bugs?
Also, not even 1 version of fbsd could mount them, tried 7.2 (livefs
cd), 8.0-RELEASE and STABLE, so it may be not the fbsd bug.
