[wplug] Linksys NSLU2

[Teodorski, Chris]

Dave,

The other option is to consider installing one of the various drivers that allow you to read ext2 and/or ext3 in windows.  This is exactly what I did with my drive so that I can move it between Windows and Linux seamlessly.

Subject: [wplug] Linksys NSLU2

I am considering purchase of an Linksys NSLU2 to host my data backup 
external HD.  I have nearly 70GB of data on the NTFS formatted drive, 
and all of the documentation for the NSLU2 mfg firmware say that the 
device will reformat the disk to ext3.  Will one of the community 
firmware builds allow me to retain the NTFS partition, allowing me to 
swap the drive between the NSLU2 and my Windows box?

Also, how does the NSLU2 handle a external HD having multiple FAT32 
partitions?

Dave
