You didn't read his message as closely as you should have. He said:
I have set up a primary partition with ext2 filesystem to act as a
single data partition accessable from all OSs.
Notice the "to act as a single data partition" part. I thought it
reasonable to tell him alternative ways to implement a shared data
partition, since I had little hope that he would find a good, reliable
file system, including FAT32. If I'm wrong, great, but I'd suggest
that people test their little-used filesystem code with diffs and
checksums and etc., before relying on it.
I'm sorry that I mis-addressed my last message to you; I quoted only
the OP ("any thoughts?") and my thoughts did not include any intent to
disparage your knowledge of "dd", etc.
