I hate to sound ignorant, but how extensive is the support for
this file system format on other systems, I have long wished
for a 'common' file system format that traded some performance
for compatibility. The usual practise of using a DOS filesystem
is a terrible compromise to have to make.

Could ext2srv be an attempt at what I want, or is it just a
Linux compatibility tool....
