You can't use easily ext2 on an external storage because of permissions.

That's because Linux and OSX ignore NTFS permissions making it work more like FAT.

Plug an existing NTFS drive from one Windows system into another Windows system and you get a similar issue where opening a home directory requires you to take ownership.

But Linux refuse to ignore permissions on an ext2.

Isn't that how it's mounted that matters there?

I never find an option to ignore permissions.
