Hi,
I've just uploaded ext2-os2 version 0.4 beta. ext2-os2 is an Installable File
System (IFS) for OS/2 that provides read and write access to Linux native
partitions formatted with the ext2fs file system. This is a port based on the
ext2fs 0.5b code (Linux 1.2.1 kernel sources). After some setup manipulations,
Linux partitions will appear as new drive letters (one per ext2fs partition).
You can then access them seamlessly like normal OS/2 drives.
This package also includes the latest version of Deon van der Westhuysen's Linux
partition filter driver (ext2flt V1.2b), which allows ext2-os2 to mount
ext2fs partitions without altering the partition table.
Please notice that this is still beta level stability code ... and that I develop
it during my spare time : even if I work for IBM, IBM doesn't have anything to do
with this driver.
You can find ext2-os2 on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in the /incoming directory, a file
named ext2_04b.zip. It will be eventually moved to /new and /os2/diskutil. I'm
waiting for your feedback on how it works on your machine, and please feel free
to send me any comments, suggestions, bug reports and so on.
Happy beta testing !
