I had a utility at one time (before a hard disk failure that wiped out some
things) and am now unable to locate it. IIRC, it was named "ext2fs". Anyhow,
I had absolutely no problems using it, but then again it was read-only. There
was some kind of read-write functionality with major warnings plastered all
over it, so I didn't bother with it.
