Ext2Fsd supports larger inode size including 256, but it hangs when I try to install this driver on XP.
What is the best free driver would you recommend? |
I have used Ext2IFS in the past successfully but it won't work for me at the moment. I am dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 x64 on ext3, with Windows 7 x64 on NTFS 5. Both installations are on a 465 Gb hardware RAID1 array. There is a second NTFS disk that both OSes read fine. I also have a 1TB NAS drive. Again both connect without a problem.
One program I stumbled upon recently is DiskInternals LinuxReader. It gives read access from Windows 7 to the RAID1 based Ubuntu ext3 partition so should work for other Windows OSes.
Ext2Fsd isn't one I'm familiar with. I'll take a look as it might be useful in other situations.
