Windows on Btrfs
Related tangent: Something I don't fully understand (perhaps I just haven't found a project that facilitates it) is why there isn't a Windows extension (driver?) that allows for native mounting of ext4 partitions within Windows explorer.<p>Surely, given the Linux native file system is open source, adding the ability to mount ext4 partitions natively should be something people can add to Windows?<p>I have seen third party applications with custom file explorers that can open ext4 partitions (in the same way you open a 7zip file) and I also understand you can mount linux partitions via WSL to access them via explorer - I would just love it if there was a way to natively mount ext4 in the Windows shell.<p>Up until now I have been using NTFS as my "universal" format - for drives shared between Windows, Linux and MacOS. I think exfat has recently gained support in all three platforms but it's not reliable for an internal hard drive (I think?).
