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.
