Hi Tim,

There is no native driver for OI to support ext2/ext3/ext4. Apparently
the filesystem in userspace (FUSE) code worked at one point, but IIRC
it's not currently working. That would likely be the easiest approach
to get minimal access to ext volumes, but again, I don't think it's
working right now.
Yea, I was digging around the Internet and it seems that there is no real
support for this. Perhaps, I can dig into the FUSE code at some point to
see if maybe I can get it working in the near future since I think that it
would be useful to be able to mount different filesystems as well.
I recently pushed an update to the fuse code, and I expect it
to work properly. In fact, I am using ntfs over fuse for nearly
everything (documentation, source code, music, backups, etc.)
shareable among Windows, Linux and OpenIndiana.
There is an old implementation of ext2 based on fuse, the
current state of which I do not know. IMHO, as fuse and ext2
did not get significant changes for years, I would expect reviving
it to be a simple task. Upgrading it to read-only ext4 should even
be possible with reasonable effort, so the real challenge
would be to provide read-write ext4 (even with no journalling).
