Ext2Fsd 0.48 was released.

Ext2Fsd is an open source linux ext2/ext3 file system driver for Windows systems (NT/2K/XP/VISTA, X86/AMD64). It could provide natively reading or writing access to your ext2/ext3 volumes under windows.

Modifications from V0.46:

1, Acronis TrueImage compatible issue solved:
Verified with Acronis True Image Home 2009. Also verified with
FreeOFTE 3.0, TrueCrypt 6.2a.
2, Driver code-signed for Vista and Server 2008
3, Bo Branten's 5+ patches merged, lots ifstest failures resolved
4, Code improvements for FastIo routines and drive letter & mount
points management
5, Mount point automatic assignment for USB key and other removable
disks or removable media devices

Features to be implemented in future:

1, EXT3 features support (htree, journal)
2, Documents improvement: clear and elaborate
3, LVM support
4, Performance improvement, code optimization
5, Automatic check & update of new versions

Since 0.38, Ext2fsd is much stable even under heavy i/o loads,
both for reading and writing. Performance and stability are
highly, improved especially stability. A new and strong era of
Ext2Fsd in product shape is coming :)

WARNINGS:

The driver may crash your system and ruin your data unexpectedly,
since there might be software conflicts and I could only test it
on some of the popular platforms. You should use it with care and
use it at your own risk!
