Reply-To: jdli@csie.nctu.edu.tw Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk How about BSD IFS for win95/os2 ?! :) [ Article crossposted from comp.os.linux.announce ] [ Author was willm@ibm.net ] [ Posted on Sun, 07 Jan 96 19:16:01 GMT ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- 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 ! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthieu WILLM I do *NOT* speak for IBM ...
