Hi,
Thoses of you who watch sources-changes have noticed it, I commited
my ext2fs layer to the source tree today. This include support in the kernel,
and the mount_ext2fs and fsck_ext2fs utilities. The kernel sources 
are available in today's sup, but not the userland, cvs was to slow.
Thoses who can't wait for the next sup can grab the
ftp://antioche.ibp.fr/pub/NetBSD/unofficial/non-gpl-ext2fs/ext2fs.tar.gz
package, and extract the needed sources from it.

This has been heavily tested on my two boxes here, wich have a NetBSD/Linux
boot, and where all my sources are on an ext2 partition. I didn't encounter
major filesystem loose, and fsck_ext2fs always found and corrected the
problem.
