I had to install the e2fstools port before I could access my e2fs partitions after installing -current. Thereafter everything has been fine. No problems with the disk, etc. The only thing that is a problem is if your e2fs partion(s) are mounted and your system crashes or the mount is uncleanly shut down. Then I have to use a linux livecd to repair the partition as the freebsd e2fsck often isn't able to clean up the mess.

I decided to bump my laptop up to 5.0-CURRENT today. All seems to have
gone well and all my old binaries work fine, it looks very nice.
However, I can no longer mount my linux partition: when I try, I get
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt
ext2fs: /dev/ad0s2: No such file or directory
Did something change when I install new bootblocks, and how do I fix it?
Below, output from fdisk and disklabel. I don't remember anything unusual
before the upgrade.
Thanks,
