The only snag I have hit is of human origin, namely convincing a coworker that ext2 is just as solid (if not more) as HFS+, the filesystem native to OSX. His main concern is in relation to retention of resource forks associated with files generated by OSX boxes, and how those would be managed on ext2. I believe he was confusing filesystem functionality with filesharing protocols, namely the limited functionality of Samba for OSX vs AFP, as OSX's GUI favors AFP. > > Anyone out there ever mount ext2 LOCALLY to a non-Linux OS?
