This is not exactly true however.  The ext2fs code is there, but it's
still considered somewhat experimental and thus not yet available in
any release.

So the correct answer is: FreeBSD does support ext2fs, but we would
rather recommend you backing up your disks and use ufs instead, since
this has been much more tested.
