no, it wasn't formated on freebsd. i formatted it under the ArchLinux 
distribution. In addition, the partition was an ext3, not just an ext2. And i 
was able to read/write without any problems (at least i didn't notice any).

Also, the port installed the following files:
fsck.ext2     fsck.ext3     fsck.ext4     fsck.ext4dev 
so even if the journal somehow will get corrupted, it will be possible to fix 
it. (i think that i used the fsck.ext3 utility once, because a friend of mine 
unplugged the drive without unmounting it first and it worked perfectly)

ofc ymmv, but i think that it worths a shot.

on the last part of your question, i'm afraid that i haven't used sheevaplug, 
so i can't be of any assistance there.

hope i was helpful,
Ed
