[ale] sort of OT: Windows driver for ext2/ext3 with 256-byte inodes?

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

Does anyone know a windows 2008 driver that will allow a ext3 drive
with 256-byte inodes to be mounted?

== details

After my raid crash of yesterday, I backed up all the data to a ext3
formated sata drive (via eSata).

I then physically moved the drive to a windows 2008 server we have a
LTO-4 drive on.  My goal being to make a real backup to tape.

To my surprise, the 256-byte inodes that are now the ext2/ext3 default
give the various windows drivers I have fits.

I found "Virtual Volumes" which will let me browse my drive, but as
far as can see it does not provide me access to the files for backup
purposes.  I have about 500GB of data on the eSata drive i want to
backup, so copying it onto my server is not a good option.

Thanks
Greg
