Quick assessment of 3 Windows tools to read/write Linux filesystems on dual-boot desktops
I dual boot Windows/Ubuntu because Ubuntu 18.04 natively provides
simultaneous full and complete read and write access to the entire visible file system of Windows, Android, and iOS. However, I'm mostly on Windows, where, unfortunately, Windows natively will NOT read the default Linux file system (neither will the Mac). Thanks to Aragorn on the Linux newsgroup, I found out today that both Windows and the Mac will easily read/write the Linux native filesystem if you load free software to do so (some of which is even open source). To that end, today I quickly tested these Windows solutions below: 1. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ 2. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/Ext2fsd/0.69/ 3. https://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ Specifically, I downloaded, extracted & ran these 3 executables: 1. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/latest/download 2. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/latest/download 3. https://www.diskinternals.com/download/Linux_Reader.exe Here is my initial first-pass quick-test assessment, for your benefit, of those three solutions, where I ask anyone with *experience* using any of these three programs to access their dual-boot Linux partitions, to further our combined tribal knowledge. *ext2read* The first is just an executable, while the latter two are installers. That first executable has to be run as Administrator; the rest don't. Even so, for whatever reason, I couldn't find my Linux home files. *ext2fsd* This automatically creates a drive letter for your Linux filesystem. The GUI was kind of miserable (e.g., it wouldn't even resize properly). I'm sure it can do the stated task, but it has a steep learning curve. *LinuxReader* I kind of like the GUI of the last one the best, at least upon 1st use. It presents your Linux and Windows disks in a familiar "My Computer" style. When you want to copy a file from Linux to Windows, you just hit "Save". Since the price of freeware is the effort it takes to find the best ones, my quick test clearly indicates I should likely first spend my learning efforts on the "LinuxReader" and to ditch the other two (unless there's a reason I learn later to do otherwise). Note: Similar Mac freeware is covered separately (on the Mac groups). -- NOTE: As per my discussion with Aragorn, I will only respond in this thread to those those adults who intend to further our combined capabilities. |

Thanks for that input from your experience, as I have _zero_ experience with these three tools. To answer Paul's question, EVERYTHING on that dual boot Linux side is default as the Ubuntu 18.04 is there as a dual boot mostly so that I can easily interface with all mobile devices and so that I can run things that Windows doesn't as easily do (grep, sed, sort, etc.) ... (at least Windows doesn't do it easily without settuing up something like cygwin, bash shell, GNU coreutils, etc., on Windows). Here is the user's HOME directory showing up in *LinuxReader* on Windows: http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8264301linuxreader.jpg I don't know (yet) why *ext2read* won't show up anything inside the users' home directory - but - it's not a big deal (unless I need 'write' permission - which - I think - LinuxReader doesn't provide). I'm extremely familiar with freeware, where you learn what you need to learn, so, right now, I don't need write permission from Windows in the Linux hierarchy, so the LinuxReader is fine for copying. If others need write permission, they'll tackle that (and when I need write permission, I'll solve it, as always, with your help if needed). -- As agreed with Aragorn, I will only respond to purposefully helpful posts in this thread, which are intended to further our combined tribal knowledge. |

At least 7zip didn't work for me where my dual boot setup is 100% standard. What do you mean by 100% standard? I thought I'd save you some time and increase the tribal knowledge. This is not new information for me, because i've been doing this for quite some time. My network as I've mentioned before is primarily Linux based but does have one native XP machine still present. As I do alot of technical service work, it's very handy to be able to mount different types of file systems I run across; but I do NOT, absolutely ****ing do NOT write to original/masters. If I need to do some writing to the drive, i'm going to image it completely beforehand, AND, verify I have a solid image to work from. https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-mount...d-write-access I'd still strongly advise that you elect to mount your NTFS partitions as read only; not read/write. The safest way to exchange files between them in a dual boot configuration is by having a fat32 partition. Both OSes can safely read and write to it all day long without any danger of file system corruption. You can even set it up as a cron job or bash script, or whatever you prefer and just 'run' it when you've logged into your Linux OS. You really are going about things the long way by taking the routes you've taken so far. Linux can (most distros, but i'm not going to tell you they all will out of the box, I know better) in most cases, with little work on your part, mount any NTFS partition you like; with write access in many cases, if you want it. I still, do NOT recommend you take advantage of that particular option. I love linux, I really do, but, it's not perfect and relies on reverse engineering to read/write to NTFS. Reading NTFS worst case, you don't get exactly what you tried to read and have to try again. Writing to NTFS if something goes wrong can do anything from disabling your dual boot, to rendering you no access to the contents of your NTFS partition until it's repaired. IF it can be. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = Auntie Em: Hate you, Hate Kansas, Took the dog - Dorothy |

NTFS (was: Quick assessment of 3 Windows tools to read/write Linux filesystems on dual-boot desktops)
Removed the "freeware" newsgroup, as the question is Windows only
Diesel, You have to understand that NTFS isn't public/open source. .... Changes in the NTFS file system are known to occur from time to time. Some are larger than others, but, any is enough to make a driver unsafe to use for writing. Thanks for the warning. And yes, I was also assuming (mistaken, as it turns out) that NTFS was a well-documented and unencumbered filesystem. But I have to ask: As FAT32 is whoofully shortfalling in regard to being able to handle the large disks of nowerdays (even a single Terrabyte drive would easily exhaust all available drive letters), what filesystem would you advice to use on Windows if-and-when someone would not like to be bound to the OS ? I could use a(n ofcourse Linux based) NAS, but would like to keep it locally (don't really want to keep the NAS running when its not used, but have no desire to switch on (and off) two machines just to be able to use a single one). Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. You can't step twice in the same river twice. Some deeper meaning of using the word "twice" twice, or just a mistake ? Hmmm, I just noticed (googled) that its something an ancient philosopher named Heraclitus said - most likely referring to the same bit of river water, not the river in its whole. Context, context. :-) |
