I just did: dd if=/dev/zero of=test.fs bs=10000 count=10000 /usr/sbin/mke2fs.exe test.fs to create an EXT2FS. Question: how do I mount this so that Windows sees it as a regular filesystem? My goal is to create something that's both a single file and also a filesystem. Reason: Mozy backup encrypts files but not filenames. If I have a single file that's also a filesystem, I can just back that up and filename encryption is automatic. I tried doing this w/ ZIP files. Windows Explorer recongizes these as "folders", but many Windows apps don't. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.
