Linux ext2/ext3 read/write from XP w/SP3?

[Maarten Lippmann]

from the fs driver faq:

# Inodes that are larger than 128 bytes are not supported.

the default inode size for mks.ext3 is higher than that nowadays,
so existing filesystems probably don't work with the fs-driver.
however, if you can format the partition yourself, make sure you add
the  -I 128 as a parameter when creating the ext2/3 partition and
fs-driver will work wonderfully to mount it from windows

"Is ’t noodlot, dat ick vall’, van eere en staet berooft,
Laet vallen, als ick vall’, met deze kroone op ’t hooft,
Dien scepter in de vuist, dien eersleip van vertrouden,
En zoo veel duizenden als onze zyde houden.
Dat valle streckt tot eer, en onverwelckbren lof:
En liever d’ eerste Vorst in eenigh laeger hof,
Dan in ’t gezalight licht de tweede, of noch een minder
Zoo troost ick my de kans, en vrees nu leet noch hinder."
