Public bug reported:
AFAIK many Ubuntu users like to format their external storage devices
(USB hard disk drives, USB sticks) with ext2 or ext3. The problem is
that not all other operating systems can handle such media, so you might
encounter situations where your data is not usable.
Apparently there are ext2/ext3 drivers for other operating systems
available. Would it be possible to
1.) make sure that whenever you ext2/ext3 format an external storage device
with Ubuntu, you are asked whether you want drivers for other operating systems
copied on this medium,
2.) bring the driver on the device in such way that installation on the other
operating system is not required, i.e. that it can run just so (somewhat like
PortableApps, which do not require installation either)?
