[OpenIndiana-discuss] mount ext2/3

[Jerry Kemp]

György,

I don't know that I necessarily have a direct fix for you, but the message below 
I had archived from the Solaris x86 mailing list, original post date in March 2006.

I checked the website (below), and the ext software is still there.

Hope this helps, or provides another possible option.

Jerry

Yes, it should be possible. You can get the ext2fs driver either from
the link in the Solaris x86 FAQ, or my version at

You may also be able to boot from a Linux CD and establish a network
connection.

A+
