Not knowingly, no. Is that a mount option? I'm mounting them the
same on both sides, so its rather strange...

Heh, not much more useful:

# tune2fs -l /dev/hdd1
tune2fs 1.22, 22-Jun-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
tune2fs: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) while trying to open /dev/hdd1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

I'll probably have to take the drive back, and see if it now mounts
in the original system :-/
