ext2/fsck_ext2fs problem

Hi,
I use a mounted ext3 partition on my freeBSD 5.3.
after I reboot it, it seemed to have uncleanly mounted it.

why? :-/

ok, so I tried fsck - and had to use pretty much acrobatics (ssh to suse, installing lynx, downloading e2progs ...). ok. so I used parts to install these ext2 programs, and now I have fsck_ext2fs, only when invoking it it says:

execve: no such file or directory.

hee?

anywayz, I now opened my box, added a cdrom, booted a linux rescue from the cdrom, cleaned the ext2 which was damaged, removed the cdrom, closed the box. and rebooted. pffff....

next time i umount the ext3 manually before doing halt - but - does anyone know something about this funny execve stuff?

cheers,
Ron
 
Noone in "BSD-Land" really cares about ext2f, so you might be on your own. You should keep a Knoppix CD about, so you can fix your filesystem from within Linux.
 
yes, I already noticed that no one cares: my problem is that I have such partitions with data in them AND no CD in my computer, so I have to open it and connect an IDE cable to a CD every time the umount goes wrong :((((

strange guys, these BSD freeks.
 
Boot via NIC, USB, Second Partition?

Thing is, the Linux Kernel has differente FS-semantics, therefore a port is not trivial (this is true vice versa). And we can't "infest" the FreeBSD-Kernel with GPL'd Code (silly license, but let's don't start this...).

Another way might be to run a real Linux via VmWare, Serenity Something or qemu and access the raw partition.

Probably the quickest solution would be to export the disk via GEOM Gate and somehow teach Linux to talk to GG devices. Then fsck the device via network.

I'm using GGate to watch DVDs, works fine :)
