Does Windows support ext3/xfs/jfs?

I am sorry if this is kinda off topic here.
But I am looking for a journal filesystem which both Linux 2.4 and Windows2000 support(read/write). Yes, Linux does support NTFS, but is not quite stable and the NTFS write is dangerous.

I wonder if ext3/xfs/jfs support Windows? Any ideas welcome :roll:

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't, but there are apps you can get to read a linux partition under windows:

I use explore2fs myself and it works just fine for reading ext2 & ext3 file systems under windows.

If it's about more than one PC: Samba, and whatever filesystem you like

If you use Total Commander (formerly Windows Commander), a Norton Commander clone, there's a plug-in for it that will read e2/3fs. There's no write support. I'm not sure that would be a good idea anyway.

Cheers,

hi ,
Totalcommander not only read etx2/3 , it read reiserfs too and
Windows without Wincommander/Totalcommander isnt worth anything

bye
