Re: can I mount ext2fs on cygwin?
Darryl, Marcos,
Much more to the point is the very recent thread "Beginner- need help in
understanding" (another one of those wonderfully non-descriptive subject
headers):
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01417.html>
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01418.html>
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01422.html>
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01423.html>
The last one includes links to software for accessing Ext2 file systems
from WIndows.

Hi,
You might want to take a look at this link found by searching 'ext2fs' in
the archives of this list.
