If I permanently assign the drive letter and reboot I can access the ext2 drive via its drive letter, whether or not it is connected to the USB port during the reboot. The drive letter does not appear in the explorer nor in ZTree. When I assign a drive letter I am only able to access the disk using the non-permanent assigned drive letter through the shell (cmd.exe).
My application is to use an external ext2 formatted disk through USB. I can't even manually issue "sync" command, as I would do in such cases on Linux to minimize data loss.Īnd a small question: what is the "default" codepage that is used for EXT2 filesystems? Is it UTF8? because a program is still accessing it.". Attempt to use "Safely remove hardware" applet fails with error message * I have not found a way to safely unmount a ext2 filesystem. IMHO, it would be more correct to use ext2fs labels (man e2label), to create associations between partitions and drive letters. I assume that ext2fsd is using device path (which might change in case of USB) as partition token. * Drive letter to a partition associations are remembered for static disks only. Thus user is forced to open Volume Manager applet, and manually choose "Refresh" menu, for the newly inserted disk to be detected. * Apparently volume manager is not subscribed to USB events.
While the ext2fsd program works perfectly with partitions on permanent harddisk, USB harddisk and flash-disks bring additional complications:
#INSTALLING GRUB ON USB EXT2 WINDOWS#
I am using ext2fsd program (v0.35) on Windows XP (SP2) to access my USB harddisk that I carry between home and work.
