+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ext2fs
+.Nd "ext2/ext3/ext4 file system"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To link into the kernel:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options EXT2FS"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To load as a kernel loadable module:
+.Pp
+.Dl "kldload ext2fs"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver will permit the
+.Fx
+kernel to access
+ext2
+file systems and its derivatives.
+It currently implements most of the features required by
+.Em ext3
+and
+.Em ext4
+file systems.
+Support for Extended Attributes in
+.Em ext4
+is experimental.
+Journalling and encryption are currently not supported.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To mount a
+.Nm
+volume located on
+.Pa /dev/ada1s1 :
+.Pp
+.Dl "mount -t ext2fs /dev/ada1s1 /mnt"
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr nmount 2 ,
+.Xr unmount 2 ,
+.Xr fstab 5 ,
+.Xr mount 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 2.2 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+kernel implementation is derived from code written,
+or modified,
+by
+.An Godmar Back
+using the UFS CSRG sources for CMU Mach.
+.Pp
+.An John Dyson
+did the initial port to
+.Fx .
+.An Aditya Sarawgi
+merged important parts of the allocation code from a clean-room
+.Nx
+implementation.
+.An Zheng Liu
+and
+.An Fedor Uporov
+implemented the read and write support respectively for
+.Em ext4
+filesystems.
+The
+.Fx
+community has contributed a huge amount of modifications.
+.Pp
+The initial version of this manual page was written by
