i believe there's a driver somewhere that allows OS X to read ext2 & maybe
ext3. i'd examine that route.
maybe os x support reiserfs?

"For some reason, we don't read about mobs of atheists stoning and burning
alive human beings who do not share their non-beliefs. So far, no agnostics
have blown themselves up in discos, taking someone's children with them. No
scientific determinists have been kidnapped and murdered by supporters of
chaos theory. Moral relativists are not organizing militias for the purpose
of putting people in jail for possession of the Ten Commandments; nor are
agnostics firing rockets at pantheists from helicopter gunships."
