EXT2-OS2 VERSION 2.30 (32 BITS EDITION)
WHAT IS EXT2-OS2 ?
-------------------
ext2-os2.ifs is a file system driver that allows OS/2 to seamlessly access
Linux native partitions (ext2fs partitions) in both read and write modes.
Once installed, Linux partitions appear as standard OS/2 drive letters, one
per Linux partition. It is a port of the original Linux ext2fs kernel code.
ext2-os2 can even be used without Linux, as it can format or check ext2 file
systems directly from OS/2. This can be useful for people who need huge cache
sizes, for large compilations for instance.
MAIN NEW FEATURES SINCE PREVIOUS RELEASE :
------------------------------------------
- bug fixes
- added umount/remount utilities for better removable media handling
