[ros-dev] About ext2 driver installer

[Heis Spiter]

Hi,
IMO it's a bad idea to create an ext2 driver installer, and to distribute it for some reasons. First, there are some other ext2 drivers that are more efficient than our one (like ext2fsd - http://www.ext2fsd.com - or ext2 IFS - http://www.fs-driver.org -). Then, our driver has been tested but a while ago, and many informations about the context and the results are missing. Finally, for now driver is breaking when starting in ROS and if ROS and Windows are really near, it will be the same under Windows. And breaking without any connected debugger, leads to bugcheck and the system becomes unusable.
And keep in mind that IFS are not a game: they can damage system AND data.
