I believe those are all the accesory tools like mkfs, fsck, etc.

Someone ported them to cygwin and released them this last summer.

Cygwin is a dll (or collection of dlls) that present a Linux API in a windows environment.

The core team works mostly on the dll's, but there are hundreds of Linux programs that have been compiled for the cygwin dll and are included in the cygwin packages setup. (Not really a distro.).

End result is the e2fsprogs is available for windows (via cygwin) once you get a good filesystem driver for ext2.

Thanks for the info. So would you think that they would work on top of any Windows mounted EXT2 file system, regardless of the software (ext2fsd, ext2 anywhere) that was being used to mount it? Thanks, Greg W
