About
-----

    This is a branch of the Ext2Fsd project by Matt Wu where I try to
    implement support for metadata checksums and jbd2. I have also
    updated the project so it can be compiled with Visual Studio 2019
    and Visual Studio 2022.
    The current status of the development is that all metadata checksums
    is implemented and jbd2 is ported to support 64-bit blocknumbers.
    The driver is now ready to be tested!
    This work is dedicated to my mother Berit Ingegerd Branten.

Test
----

    To test this driver run one of the installation programs:
    Signed driver for Windows 11:
    https://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/0.70/Ext2Fsd-setup-signed-win11.exe
    Signed driver for Windows 10:
    https://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/0.70/Ext2Fsd-setup-signed-win10.exe
    Signed driver files for manual install: (even ARM/ARM64)
    https://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/0.70/signed/
    Unsigned driver for older Windows:
    For Windows 8 - Windows 10:
    https://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/0.70/Ext2Fsd-0.70b3w10-setup.exe
    For Windows XP - Windows 7:
    https://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/0.70/Ext2Fsd-0.70b3xp-setup.exe

    If you compile the driver yourself you only need to run the installation
    program once, then you can copy your driver file over the old in
    \windows\system32\drivers.
    Now you can read and write ext4 filesystems using the new features
    metadata checksums and 64-bit blocknumbers from Windows.
