Well I've tested the EXT2 filesystem driver for windows, and it works really well !! http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html This has actually helped me since I work on Linux about 90% of the time. But the only option to having this is that, you can't really use Windows directly onto a Ext2 Filesystem, UNLESS..... You install both Windows and the Ext2 filesystem driver, and you would need to get either lilo or grub to boot to that ext2 filesystem, and THEN convert your FAT/NTFS windows filesystem to ext2 or maybe even ext3... In theory that works, but in theory anything works... Maybe if somebody can grasp my idea, they could possibly get the time to try and test it out ?
