Ext2Fsd is an open source linux ext2/ext3 file system driver for Windows systems (NT/2K/XP/VISTA, X86/AMD64).
This has the additional benefit of requiring administrator permissions to use it in windows. Very convenient for the non-domain environments.
Very stable for me - no crashes or corruption at all, even under heavy usage. Only downside is that assigning drive letters doesn't work well in 0.46, but this is negligible, given that this is the only *stable* RW ext2 driver I have found for Windows.
The only drawback that I see is that I have been using one of these cheap 1TB WD "saves energy" type of drives that came in a simpletech external hard drive. It is now complaining when I try to copy and/or move files/directories from it to another partition. some sort of inode mismatch. I will submit a bug if you would like, but it seems more hardware than software. Rick
