It occurs to me sharing an ext3/ext2 /home between Linux and OpenBSD is a response to some need. If that's the answer (whose feasibility you're asking about), allow me to ask, what is the question? What's the actual core itch you're trying to scratch? Are you just trying to share certain user files, e.g. ~/Desktop? Are you trying to share program configurations? This might be better to do on a case-by-case basis, with symlinks. Sharing a e.g. Firefox profile *might* be feasible *if and only if* you're on the same Firefox version in both OSes. But sharing any and all dot-files, —even where installed versions (of programs properly installed outside of ~/) differ— that's probably still a very bad idea *EVEN IF* there turned out to be absolutely no OpenBSD ext2 support bugs that you got to run into.
