David,
Check out this website - http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/
It is dedicated to hacking the MyBook World Edition. Specifically,
this page http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/troubleshooting deals with
reformatting the data partition to ext3.
I use my World Book as a destination for my BackupPC setup. I connect
via NFS so there aren't problems with hardlinks.
Mike
