10 I wonder what something like the Synology DS212j uses. It allows for
11 ACLs (implying ext* or NTFS under the hood); however, it has a USB
12 cable (implying trouble-free plugging into many different machines).

14 I bet if you use it on the network with the ACLs and subsequently
15 write from a few machines with the USB cable... the thing gets
