Description
I originally commented this on CORE-18645, but turned it into an issue per reactosfanboy's suggestion.
That issue references two different source code repositories / projects that are abandoned as the current status of the driver, however there is a more up-to-date version of it that claims to still be under development by the repo owner.
GitHub repo: https://github.com/bobranten/Ext4Fsd
From the readme, these are the main differences compared to Ext3Fsd:
- Support for metadata checksums and jbd2
- Updated to compile with VS 2017 & 2019.
The current status is:
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!
I assumed that this was already known about, but searching JIRA for "Ext4Fsd" gave no results, so I figured it may be worth mentioning and potentially looking into this newer version of the driver to see if it would be worth updating ReactOS to use it. The fork still has support for XP / Server 2003 so it in theory shouldn't require too much work to get it into ReactOS
