Good day:
I was reading Linux Filesystems on the Handbook and was confused and moderately shocked that ext2 is the ONLY Linux file system that is fully supported read/write. Is this for real? What filesystems can I write to on a Linux machine, that I can read and write to on a FreeBSD machine? (As in a multi-boot environment or taking a drive from a Linux machine to a FreeBSD machine, etc). Fuse is not really an option, but it seems Fuse support for read/write filesystems is pretty poor as well. Why is this the case? Why hasn't ext4 been ported or why is XFS support 'incomplete', or ReiserFS; why is this also incomplete? Just doesn't seem to make sense to me that I have to use ext2 or fat file systems, both of which have been long superseded by superior or at the very least, more modern filesystems. x(
