Accessing to ext2/3, xfs on Windows

i.you · 01-10-2007, 11:05 PM

Hello.

Ext2Fsd, CrossMeta, etc... programs to access to ext2/3, xfs on Windows.
I'm trying to write a simple program like that, for example, when inserting a USB disk that is formatted to ext2/3 or xfs, it'll be able to judge the corresponding filesystem and display on Windows.
If on Linux, reading the superblock and able to be judged by magic number, but I have no idea on Windows.
I'm waiting for your help...
Thank you.

P.S. Please let me know references or related documents too...

... have a look at the source code of an existing project - this will give you plenty of hints.
