RE: Cheap NAS or MSI Wind/Eee Box?

FYI if you like, you can have the full drive use ext3.

Using ext2ifs will let windows access your ext3/ext2 drive

We have a 1TB My Book that works just fine on Linux. Purchased it a few
months ago. I partitioned it half ext3, half FAT32 so we can use it easily
for different things. (For example, copying files from ext3 to FAT32 causes
permission settings to be lost so I want the ext3 on the external drive
too.)

Hate the name, "My Book" but it is working well for us so far.
