A Windows kernel driver that enables reading and writing ext2/ext3/ext4 Linux file systems on Windows 10 and 11, forked from the Ext2Fsd project with added metadata checksum and jbd2 support. It includes a signed installer and a management application (Ext2Mgr) for viewing disks and partitions.
Use cases
- read ext4 partitions from windows
- mount linux filesystem on windows 10/11
- access ext4 drive after dual-boot
- write to ext4 disk from windows
- view ext filesystem type of partitions
- recover files from linux partition on windows
When to choose
- you need native kernel-level ext4 access on Windows 10/11 with a signed driver
- you want a maintained fork of Ext2Fsd with metadata checksum and jbd2 support
- you dual-boot Windows and Linux and need to read/write Linux partitions
When to avoid
- you only need to read ext4 files occasionally and prefer a userspace tool like WSL2 mounts
- you need guaranteed support for the newest ext4 features, which may only exist in self-compiled git code
- you require a project with a formal open-source license
