Hi all
There is a commercial ext3-4 file system driver for windowsLinux File Systems für Windows | Paragon Softwarewhich enable Windows to read an write on native ext3-4 volumes.In General cygwin works perfectly on such volumes,even named pipes work,
but Cygwin programs do not interprete those links correctly,which are created on such volumes.whilst symbolic links on native NTFS drives referring files on such volumeswork perfectly.
