Also there's a point that some people are forgetting.. As far as I know 
, only ext2/3 has support to the extended attributes that selinux creates.
So , if you want to test another filesystem you have to disable selinux...
I know that Selinux is cool , improves security greatly , but I , as a 
home user, dont see any benefits for me.... But I  , as a network admin 
(even though I'm not working with it actually) , consider this a welcome 
adition....
