Yesterday I stumbled over this project Crossmeta at http://www.crossmeta.com/ that claims nothing less but having developed Windows filesystem drivers for EXT, XFS, Reiser and so forth. I immediatley downloaded everything that is there to download (for free) but having difficulties to get it run. Unfortunately after googling around for a bit I am not quite sure in what shape this project actually is. So I'm wondering if there's someone out there who is willing and able to help me out. To the problem: I strictly followed the instructions in crossmeta_jumpstart.pdf and everything installed fine so far. What I don't understand are the procedures one has to perform to mount an existing Linux XFS partition. It looks as if you'd only have to run something like "mount -t extfs /dev/daxxx /mnt" in a DOS-box but the only thing I get is "mount: /mnt" and dmesg shows a couple of XFS related errors although I properly installed the filesystem add-ons - xfs.sys and the others are there. So in the moment I really have no clue how to continue.
