Mounting ex4 external drive?

[kdar]

Is there any way that I can mount ex4 external drive in FreeNAS 8?

I have files that I want to copy from my external drive to new value on FreeNAS.

well.. I guess ex4 will not work.. But can I mount reiserfs?

My guess would be "heck no".

lol.. thanks.. Yes.. I think that what I found out after search for it for awhile...

What about reiserfs? Can this be mounted instead?

or.. to what file system can I convert my external drives (which I plan to encrypt anyways) so that they can be compatible for both reads and write on FreeNAS? All my other computers are running Linux (Arch Linux).

For the most compatibility with freenas, it's recommended to use filesystems native to freenas. So either UFS or ZFS. All other supported filesystems are primarily there for data migration purposes, and not meant to be used read / write.

Actually, my answer was for reiserfs since you had made it fairly obvious that you had determined that ext4 wouldn't work.

But its as titan_rw said. Your choices are very slim with FreeBSD/FreeNAS. Take it or leave it. :P
