Howto access XFS, JFS, ext[234], minix, btrfs, reiserfs ot any other non MS filesystem from Windows 7 - 11 without installing a maybe bogus kernel filesystem driver?
- Make a Mini-Vm with a totally slack and stripped linux kernel, that is bridged on a VM network adapter. Include all filesystem drivers and needed network adapter & drivers in that kernel and strip / kick out everything other, what's not needed.
Make the kernel similiar to a cisco router or PIX firewall kernel. - Give the VM direct access to your harddisk, usb-devices, firewire & bluetooth devices.
- Enable the Mini linux VM to reEXport mounted filesystem over smb or nfs.
- Calculate the memory size, which is needed, that all filesystem mounts and all fs operatons work fast enough with paging and caching.
- Choose the best scheduler for that mini-VM.
- Optimize all ioctl, (f)lush, (f)read, (f)write, (f)seek, (f)open, (f)close and all other filesystem operations.
- If you are hungry => oprimize the /proc /sys /dev filesystem.
