It was added for an 4.6RC but removed in the final release so as not to change to many things.  The 4.6 series was meant to fix the kernel oops and a NFS ID issue.

 

ext3 (and 4) will probably be added for the next 5.0 release.

Bummer.  I'm going to need to transfer lots of video files off a system that uses ext3.  I was hoping that I could just stick the source hard drive into my sata dock and copy the files to the array.

You can mount any ext3 drive as an ext2 as long as it was unmounted cleanly in the other system.

 

Use unMENU and it will mount the drive for you with just the click of a button.

 

It will basically type:

mount -r -t ext2 /dev/sdX /mnt/disk/sdX

 

It will create the mount point and even allow you to create a SMB share for it if you like.

I didn't know that ext2 and ext3 were that similar.  I'll give it a try.
