I've bought a Iomega 160GB High-Speed Ethernet Network Hard Drive, and was disappointed to discover that it apparently can't be reformatted in Mac OS Extended format. The Iomega support says the drives are ext2 and can't be reformatted to HFS+, or at least not that they know of. This means I can't create a synched backup mirror, due to the filename limitations.
Any idea of how the drive could be reformatted hacking into ext2?
