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 2017
|
|
and Visual Studio 2019.
|
|
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:
|
|
http://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/0.70/Ext2Fsd-0.70b3w10-setup.exe for Windows 8 - Windows 10.
|
|
http://www.accum.se/~bosse/ext2fsd/0.70/Ext2Fsd-0.70b3xp-setup.exe for Windows XP - Windows 7.
|
|
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.
|
|
(sorry I can not sign drivers so you need to turn of Windows checking for that during testing)
