Hi,

Not really mol related, more an interoperability question.

Did anyone tried this ext2 support for OS X to access Linux ext2
partitions?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/

I'm assuming from the little information I found that it provides a
kernel module and will be able to access ext2 partition transparently,
so the ext2 partitions can be mounted, right?

What do you think if I share a home directory (ext2 partition) between
OS X and my Linuxes?  Would it cause any problems?

Don't want to go into the details, but could not try it until I
reinstall OS X and size that I will give to OS X partition during
reinstallation depends how well ext2 support is...
