Well, that ends any chance of using exFAT then.

Why use ext2? It's for Linux. Just as UFS is for BSD. There needs to
be something new.

Why is it that nobody can agree on a portable filesystem then? I guess
these companies really don't want to make this easy. FAT32 is still
the only one that really answers this question, but it's not a good
answer...
