Description
Current ext2 driver is quite old.
ReactOS needs new ext2 driver with better support.
Matt Wu ext2fsd (http://www.ext2fsd.com/) seems a reasonable choice.
Current version is 0.62:

- ext2/ext3 volume reading & writing

- mountpoint automatical assignment

- large file size bigger than 4G
- CIFS sharing over network
- htree directory indexing
- ext4 extent read-only, no size truncating and expanding support
- Fast fsck (uninit_bg) and group block checksum support
- 64k block-size, support compatible to Linux ext4 and e2fsprogs
- OS: 2k, xp, vista, server 2003/2008, win7
Features Ext2Fsd doesn’t support:
- fully ext3 journal support
- ext4 extent support
- LVM and Linux raid (md)
- NT4 is no longer supported.
