Thanks for all the replies.  This gives me something to look at and it's
obviously do-able :)

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
