The advantage is high read / write speed. Developed by Remy Card in 1993 as the Linux kernel filesystem, was the main filesystem from 1993-2001 Linux. ext2 - stands for Second Extended File System (second extended file system).IN Linux the following types of file systems are most commonly used: Each file system has its own pros, cons, vulnerabilities and distinctive features. Some are good in terms of security, others in terms of write / read speed.

Some write small files very quickly (say, up to 1GB), but at the same time they do not interact well with large files or do not work with them at all.

The variety of file systems is explained by the fact that each was invented for its own specific package of tasks. Also, it uses Windows Explorer to view and extract files/data.14 June File systems ext2, ext3, XFS, ReiserFS, NTFSįile systemis a procedure that determines the way of organizing, storing and naming data on any electronic storage media in computers. It provides read-only access to the Linux partition and does not allow you to make changes in file system partitions. This runs under Windows and allows you to access Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 Linux files. This tool also adds the ‘IFS drives’ item to the control panel from where you can assign a drive letter to Linux partitions. You can view the Linux partition listed in the disk management as shown. It installs a pure kernel mode file system driver, Ext2fs.sys, which actually extends the Windows operating system to include the Ext2 file system. 2) Ext2 IFS (Installable File System)Įxt2 IFS provides Windows with full access to Linux Ext2/Ext3 volumes. Read-only support is fine, though, and doesn’t carry a risk of messing anything up. I’d be worried about this option, myself – a lot can go wrong. While you can theoretically enable support for writing to Linux partitions, I haven’t tested this. You can have Ext2Fsd launch at every boot or only open it when you need it.

It allows Windows to read Linux file systems natively, providing access to the file system via a drive letter that any program can access. Ext2Fsd is a Windows file system driver for the Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4 file systems.
