No journaling, though. Sorry, a gremlin ate my link. Here's what I meant: http://www.fs-driver.org/ - it's an ext2 driver for Windows. But I also agree FAT32 is alive and popular choice, no only for stationary drives but also for "semi-stationary" large external USB hard drives and similar equipment - I don't think the time has come to discard FAT32 for local storage. (Many of things discussed in this thread are fairly easy on recent Linuxes with automounting - file systems that have been automounted are probably not permanent). --------------enigC3587F08668EBDE7332349A6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHFlh4ldnAQVacBcgRAkl5AJ4oFPuJUH/PZ4dwfWrllgQdQOp96gCeL5Ku 3NUsydtBxbg/kQ4xTisjhBs= =+wVM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC3587F08668EBDE7332349A6--
