Support ext2 external disks with inode=256

[ulf]

If I create a disk with a modern Ubuntu distribution
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc1

I cannot mount this with

mount -t ext2fs /dev/adas4s1 /mnt/media/backup

since the default inode count has moved from 128 to 256.

If I create the disk with

mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/sdc1

it works.

Would be good if FreeNAS supported disks with inode=256

I am running 8.3.1p2 and have not tested if it works in later versions of FreeNAS.

It's inode size (128 bytes vs. 256 bytes), not inode count. A filesystem with only 256 inodes would not be very useful ;).

I am running 8.3.1p2 and have not tested if it works in later versions of FreeNAS.

FreeBSD/FreeNAS 9 should be able to mount 256 byte inode ext2 without any problem.
