[ale] sort of OT: Windows driver for ext2/ext3 with 256-byte inodes?

Finally got around to testing ext2fsd.

I have a dual boot laptop.  I've install ext2fsd.

I've done the magic to get an alternate drive letter assigned.  I've rebooted.

Every time I try to access the drive via explorer it says:  "Do you
want to format?"

Still investigating, but it doesn't look very safe yet.
