Virtual Volumes and Dokan

It has been a holy grail for many years now and it is very close. The ability to assign a drive letter to your linux filesystems under Windows.

I am doing some final tests on my first release of Virtual Volumes which includes support for Dokan. Dokan is the Windows equivalent of FUSE under Linux. This means you can implement a filesystem in a userspace application.

There are some knows issues but my Windows XP install test was successful and I am currently doing some large file testing. If all goes well I might get a beta version released this weekend.

  1. Any news about Virtual Volumes. I'm looking for a driver that would provide ext2/3/4 access from Windows to my Linux partitions. I'm using ext2fsd right now, but there has been no development since a year. I say there is a version 0.7 available. Should I try it on Windows 8 64bit?

  2. Hi,

    The main hurdle before I can release a test version is getting around Windows 7 Driver Signing. I expect that the only solution is to purchase a certificate which is a problem ATM.

    If you are happy to use windows driver signing test mode then it should be working on Windows 7. I will try and get my test package published.

    I have not looked at windows 8 yet. The cynic in me expects that MS have changed things and it will no longer work but we will have to wait and see on that one.

    Regards,

    John.

    يتم استخدام بعض طرق إبعاد الحمام مثل وضع الشباك و رفع الأسلاك الحديدية الصلبة ومنع الحمام من الوقوف في الحقل وتعتبر هذه الطريقة فعالة في طرد الحمام الموجود فوق اللوحات الإعلانية وكذلك تلك المعلقة على جدران المؤسسات والشركات الاعلانات التجارية. الشرائط ذات الألوان الزاهية يمكن استخدام الشرائط ذات اللون الأحمر أو الأصفر الفاتح لصد الحمام عن طريق لصق الحمام الذي يبلغ طوله نصف متر على جميع النوافذ أو على هذه النوافذ حيث يوجد الحمام. يمكن تحقيق طريقة العصا أو المسبحة هذه باستخدام خيط مسبحة طويل أو خيط مسبحة.لف الخيط حول الحمام ، مثل النافذة أو البلاط أو المنزل على السطح ، لتحقيق نتائج فعالة ، أكثر من سلسلة ، ويمكنك ربط ربطة عنق أو شريط على السلك ، الحمام طيور ذكية ، فإن ضربه بسلك محكم سيؤذيه ولن يعود ، بالإضافة إلى أن السلك المعلق سيخيفه.
