We'll make this mol related in a minute :)

Yep.  I give it a try once in a while, and always end up de-installing
after the first freeze or kernel panic.  Besides, I don't use ext2 for
my Linux partitions anyway.

Bad idea.

If you intend to run Linux and Mac OS X simultaneously, you will only
be able to write to your home directory from one of the two, since mol
refuses write access to partitions that are already mounted writable.
If you want to share data in this scenario, it's much better to use
the virtual network that mol provides.

For sharing data through a partition, FAT32 is still the most reliable
file system.
