Linux ext2fs IFS for OS/2 - ext2-os2 V0.5 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 V0.4 :
- -----------------------------
- - huge performance improvements (use of extended I/O operations provided by
OS2DASD.DMD)
- - replacement of the disk cache code (it is now a port of the Linux buffer
management code, a dynamic disk cache)
- - ability to make ext2-os2 behave like HPFS for file name comparisions, so
that all the apps that uppercase or lowercase file names are no longer broken.
WHERE TO FIND EXT2-OS2 :
- ------------------------
You can find ext2-os2 on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in the /incoming directory, a file
named ext2_05b.zip. It will be eventually moved to /new and /os2/diskutil.
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 !
