EXT2-OS2 VERSION 2.40
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. It includes a port of the Linux ext2 file system
utilities version 1.10 (e2fsprogs-1.10), including e2fsck, mke2fs, debugfs ...
MAIN NEW FEATURES SINCE PREVIOUS RELEASE :
------------------------------------------
- some bug fixes,
- performance improvements,
- no more 2 Gb limit for mke2fs and e2fsck,
- ext2 file system utilities updated to version 1.10 (e2fsprogs-1.10).
WHERE TO FIND EXT2-OS2 :

DISCLAIMER :
------------
I'm developing this driver during my spare time : even if I work for IBM, IBM
isn't implicated in any way with this driver, I develop it at home.
FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT :

Please feel free to contact me for any question on ext2-os2. You are also
encouraged to give me some feedback on how it works on your system and what
new features you would like ... this helps me improve it ! Both success
stories and disasters interest me.
