Hello!
/sbin/mount_ext2fs may need something!
I'm thinking this because i've been using this same "device" hard drive
previously
for ffs filesystems running netbsd1.3. I just repartitioned it to try out
maclinux,
or linux-m68k operating systems. I thought it would be easier working in
netbsd
to do stuff like transfer tarball files and ftp, than work in macOS.

I down loaded
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-current/tar_files/src/sbin.tar.gz
the 7-11-98 tar files for mount_ext2fs and did a fresh compile on it,  my
system's
/usr/include/ufs/ufs/ufsmount.h had to get tweaked to include a header
file quota.h
and this struct below had to be changed from an "incomplete" type (so sez
the cc compiler ):


     struct net_export um_export  /* export information */
     struct net_export *um_export /* export information */

I'm no programmer brain, so i just stuck in an asterisk to make this
struct look like the other
structs next to it. But the same error occurs ...

... when attempting to use mount_ext2fs. Anyone knows what's up with this
filesytem
tool "mount_ext2fs" for working with linux filesystems ?

Help is appreciated!

Here's the compile of mount_ext2fs i did. If that helps!
