Ext2 Filesystem ReviewDoes not mount EXT3 drive - Version: 1.4d4, 12/27/2007 04:57PM PST

I have three blocks on a USB drive that was on a defunct Linksys network server. Using the icon in Preference, it says that each block could not be mounted due to a file error (0xf8DA00C). Any help?

Ext2 Filesystem ReviewBEWARE: Fried my hard drive! - Version: 1.4d4, 2/26/2007 09:56PM PST

I was testing this software on a (ext2) hard drive with expendable data just to see how well it worked. I knew this is a "developer's" version and I was aware that it might kill the data--but as the data was expendable, no problem I thought--I could just reformat the drive.

However, I got a kernel panic as soon as I rebooted with this software installed and when my Mac started up again, it would no longer recognize the drive at all. I tried accessing the drive from a Linux PC, but the computer would not even boot with the drive attached.

All attempts to revive this hard drive have failed.

BEWARE: THIS SOFTWARE DESTROYED A PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING HARD DRIVE!

Witha a warning like this in the read me file why would you bother installing this software unless you wanted your system to crash or become unstable?

I'll wait or find an alternative!

EXT2 Filesystem for Mac OS X, 1.4d4, 2006/12/3

"This release could cause kernel panics and/or deadlocks that hang the machine. In addition, write support has not been stressed tested, therefore filesystem corruption may be possible. Please keep this in mind before using it."
