Piers,

ext3, not ext2. Yes, they're somewhat compatible, but not 100%, and I would
be hesitant to use a plug-in or driver that's not ext3-capable.

The best approach  (as in: the one which is most likely to not cause data
corruption etc) would be to grab an Ubuntu CD and access the disk directly
from Linux...

19.90 is a very good price for the NSLU, put me down for a few too ;)

Cheers,

Thomas
