Just curious,
has anyone tried to run cygwin on an ext2 partition using
one of the ext2 filesystem drivers available for windows ?

like the one from paragon e.g.

i imagine there is nothing to gain, since cygwin was designed for
fat/ntfs, but i thought maybe extra functionality could be provided
if cygwin had a "run on ext2" functional mode.
