Thanks for the suggestion, Christoph.  However, this would make it
impossible to access my only windoze partition from Debian GNU/Linux,
currently serving to run an accounting programme not yet ported to
Linux.  Occasionally require the accounting data in Linux.

Meanwhile have reformatted / partition as ext3 until we find a suitable
