Linux ext2fs IFS for OS/2 - ext2-os2 V0.7 now available
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.
This package also includes the latest version of Deon van der Westhuysen's
Linux partition filter driver (ext2flt V1.2c), which allows ext2-os2 to
work with ext2fs partitions without altering the partition table.
MAIN NEW FEATURES SINCE V0.6 :
-----------------------------
- A major bug fix : the system could hang at bootup if ext2_lw.exe was
loaded before any Linux partitions are mounted.
WHERE TO FIND EXT2-OS2 :
------------------------
You can find ext2-os2 on the following sites :
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu
/os2/diskutil/ext2_07b.zip (or /incoming)
sunsite.unc.edu
/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/ext2/ext2_07b.zip (or
/pub/Linux/Incoming)

DISCLAIMER :
------------
I'm developing this driver during my spare time : even if I work for IBM,
IBM isn't implied in any way with this driver, I develop it at home.
.. Anyway, I hope you'll find it useful, and I'm waiting for your feedback
to keep improving it !
