That's what I too was going to do initially. Till I discovered that
NetBSD can read-write ext2fs well, and so I might as well stick to
ext2fs and have the benefits of permissions and lower/ uppercases,
etc. :) Sad that Linux can't read-write ufs partitions ... its been
around for a long time anyways and widely used I'd guess ...

Thanks,
