Hello,
The next version of Ext2 IFS is still work in progress:
1. runs on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as well (we need support for enhanced oplocks of SMB2 for that),
2. supports large inodes,
3. has some new internals that also work with very large volumes (as we will have in the future) while having a low amount of available memory; includes a buddy cache that is needed by the Ext4 multiblock allocator; this modification will speed up mounting of very large volumes,
4. supports some of the Ext4 features: meta_bg, flex_bg, dir_nlink, uninit_bg,
5. implements the Ext4 multiblock allocator,
6. supports the ATA Trim command for solid state drives (SSD) on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2,
7. silent setup option
8. a mount diagnosis support integrated in the Ext2 driver
2., 3., 4., 7., and 8. are completely implemented, but not tested yet. (3. was really much work.)
1., 5., and 6. are being implemented.
It will take some time to finish it. Please be patient with me ;-).
Kind regards
Stephan Schreiber
