Has anybody tried to mount an SD card with an ext3 filesystem?

I guess that the reason why the SD card is always mounted as FAT 32 is somehow hidden in the "/etc/fstab" (or similar) of the linux device (i.e., DR1000S).

I was wondering if anyone has succeeded to tweak this in order to be able to use an SD card formatted as ext3 (I guess this is possible, but I have never formatted an SD card as ext3).

My desire to have an ext3 file system is mainly (besides getting rid of the number files limitations) that it would be possible to use symbolic links. Hence, it would be possible to store all the files in a particular folder, while in other folders we could use "tags" pointing to the files. I believe this may give us a better way to organize the files inside the card.
