Issues while trying to access an Ext3 partition successfully mounted on FreeBSD 7

[Ashish Shukla आशीष शुक्ल]

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p3 (amd64). I've two ext3 partitions
on my disk which I want to be able to access (read-only) from my
FreeBSD installation. But I can only access one of them (with no
issues), though I'm able to mount both of them fine in my FreeBSD and
GNU/Linux. Those filesystems are fsck-ed regularly after every n
mounts. I'm experiencing this since I installed GNU/Linux on that
partition.

----8<----8<----
% fgrep gentoo-root /etc/fstab
/dev/ad6s2              /mnt/gentoo-root    ext2fs  ro,noauto       0       0
% sudo mount /mnt/gentoo-root
% mount |fgrep gentoo
/dev/ad6s2 on /mnt/gentoo-root (ext2fs, local, read-only)
% ls -l /mnt/gentoo-root
ls: /mnt/gentoo-root: Bad file descriptor
% sudo umount /mnt/gentoo-root
% ls -ld /mnt/gentoo-root
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Jun  8 23:24 /mnt/gentoo-root
---->8---->8----

There are no errors (or messages) reported in dmesg. Any ideas how to
troubleshoot this ? I don't want to degrade my filesystem from ext3 to
ext2.

Thanks
