[Q] Mount EXT3 Partitions

---

I have some external drives I would like to mount to my Transformer, they contain large sets of pictures and music that I keep on a USB drive. When I plug the USB drive in it finds partition 1 which is FAT32 and happily mounts that but claims that the file system on partition 2 is unrecognized. Is there a way to adjust their mounting scripts to support ext3 partitions on external drives? I use Ext3 because it supports large files and I sometimes dump 10 to 15 G tar packages onto the drive. I guess since most new Linux installs will support read/write to NTFS maybe I should move these drives to NTFS but that just seems so wrong ;).

I am guessing the answer will be, I have to root and probably do some crazy changes under the covers but if that is what it takes then maybe it will mean I finally take that step (although I need to wait till I decide if I am keeping my transformer).
