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

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.
