Is there a way to mount ReiserFS partition in Windows?

Question

Is there a good reliable way to mount ReiserFS partitions in Windows? All I found is YAReG but it doesn't really mount a drive so I can't use my favorite tool for file operations and, more importantly, it won't understand unicode file names.

Answer 1

There's also rfstool, but I have not specifically tried this.

Note the following restriction!:

• Access is read-only. I do not intend to change that, at least for the time being.

• Journal data is ignored. These tools show the file structure as it is ON DISK, right now.

Answer 2

After another question on SU and a little googling:

• An updated version of rfsd: http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/
• RFSGUI: Another GUI for rfstool
• A total commander plugin

Answer 3

maybe not the most elegant way, but it works for me:

Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.

here's a tutorial: Ext3, ReiserFS & XFS in Windows thanks to coLinux

Answer 4

There is rfsd which, as I know, is based on rfstool. Simple enough to use and it mounts as a drive so you can use FAR.
