The web page and the ‘Zip’ files were read without any issues, but the video playback was interesting. I used Ubuntu 13.10 and ‘ KaOS 2014‘ (both residing on ‘Ext4’) for testing this tool (version 2.73, Windows 8 64-bit), on two different occasions, and the results were pretty much identical.įirst I tried reading a web page, a ‘Zip’ file and a video file. In other words, neither the Paragon’s ‘Ext’ mounter nor Windows operating system are aware of each others existence, which is also why, the mounted ‘Ext’ file systems are displayed as ‘Dokan’ in Windows file explorer, not as ‘Ext 2/3 or 4’. When the ‘Ext’ mounter done doing its job (say a file read), then it passes that data to ‘Dokan’ and ‘Dokan’ then passes it to Windows. In other words, when you access a ‘Ext’ file system under Windows using ‘ExtFS …’, Windows passes your request to ‘Dokan’, and then ‘Dokan’ passes that to the Paragon ‘Ext’ mounter. To spare you with the boring technical details, ‘Dokan’ acts as the middle man between Windows’ Kernel and the Paragon’s utility that actually deals with the ‘Ext’ file systems. This tool uses another utility called ‘Dokan’ (a separately developed utility, now abandoned). I have had used this program in its early days not ever since, but recently I came across it quite accidentally and decided to give it a go under Windows 8.īut before I begin, let me give you a brief introduction to this utility because I think it is important.

‘ExtFS for Windows’ is a free program from ‘PARAGON’ software group that enables Windows users to access their Ext 2/3/4 file systems directly from ‘My Computer’.
