Re: Antw: Can Windows read XFS?

[vricks@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks, everyone, for the prompt replies.  I think that I'll either just
live with the situation, or else reformat my /home partition to ext2 or
ext3.  There are Windows  programs I'm aware of that can read ext2/3
filesystems.  VMware is great, but I don't have a real excuse for using it.
Thanks again,
Vance

Possibly using VMware could solve your problem. You could run windows
within a virtual VMware mashine  on the Linux host. The later exports
the XFS filesystem via samba which you can map without problems  from
the windows computer.

I've unsuccessfully checked the archives for the answer to the above
question.  Are there any programs that allow Windows NT/2k/XP systems
to
read XFS filesystem data?  I have a dual-boot XP/Linux system with the
/home partition formatted XFS.
