What driver do you use for accessing the ext3 partitions? I found the following to choose from: Ext2 IFS and Ext2 FSD How is the stability. Did you have any trouble getting it to work? Until now I have only used ext3 for one of my external harddrives, the other two have been formatted with the ntfs filesystem. It would be nice though to be able to use the drives with the native linux filesystem instead. Thanks, Best regards, Rene
