Thank you so much! I had a WD mybookworld die on me -- RAID is pretty useless when the main board craps out :)
Under Windows 7, I was able to recover everything over to my new NAS.
Please send me a message -- I want to make a donation to you.

On Windows 7 64 bit with 1 SSD, 2 SATA drives and USB3 it quietly worked incorrectly. I connected 2 2TB drives (both formatted as Ext3, one empty) using USB3 enclosures, then copied the entire contents of one drive to the other. The "from" drive had 893GB free and the "to" drive started out with 1810GB free. After the copy completed the "to" drive had 1810GB free but less than half the directories existed. I've no idea where the data went to. Sorry but as far as I'm concerned this software is worthless. I'm not prepared to waste more time on it by providing debug info.
I achieved my copy by booting up a SystemRescueCd containing Linux and copying the data using that.

My Ubuntu partition integrates seamlessly into Windows as a separate volume filled with files. Love it. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-read-ext3ext4-linux-partition-from-windows-7.html

good job

Write access to an ext2 USB hdd is twice as fast as to the same FAT32 hdd. For a 3 GB file, so that caching effects will not count. Writing to an USB memory stick seems to be even more faster. Plus: The Speed; and a lost ext* usb stick will not be easily readable for everyone. Minus: USB devices with more than one partition are not recognized correctly. I would love to have a small FAT32 partition with the ext2fsd on it and the data on the remaining xGB, but that did not work for me. Still the best ext2/3 driver for me.

very good

Slower than Ext2IFS. Uses an exceptional amount of memory (nearly a full gig) on Win7 x64 with a 1TB drive mounted RAID0. Still doesn't reliably support running .exes from a mounted drive. Also mauled perfectly valid UCS-2 filenames.

works well ;)

The best ext filesystem for Windows, and it's free and very easy to use.

Working fine for me, for several months. Everything in PCLinuxOS partitions is accessible from Win2K Pro. Hope it works as well with Win7 32-bit. But ... would like to see it upgraded for Ext4, as my next GNU/Linux install will likely have that.

Good project

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.
