I've made some headway and can now both list (most) directories, and retrieve file data of ReiserFS partitions from Windows NT/2000. Description, Binary and Sourcecode can be found here:
http://p-nand-q.com/reiser4win.htm It works, at least on my partitions. I'd be pleased to know from you if it works for you or where you have problems. I've also extended my "ReiserFS manual" a lot, see here: http://p-nand-q.com/reiserfs/reiserfs.htm It contains several things I didn't find out: For example, I still don't know what to make of "k_offset". It is not used in my code, and still I seem to be able to retrieve files and list directories. Where it "should" be used (for example, for directory listings spanning multiple blocks) I can do without and just always use the node next to the right). Whats going on here? I cannot do links. I think I understand how links work (hardlinks at least) but I've got to make them work. Some "very" large files I seem unable to retrieve. I would guess that, just like with large directories, the right adjectant (if that word exists) nodes of the first indirect item are used for more indirect items, but somehow something seems to go wrong there. My code doesn't use hashes. Somehow, they just don't come up. (I saw that the "third part" of the file key is the hash, but it took me some hours searching the code until I found out that you use just some bits of the hash. Arg.) The documentation is missing the "root key" bit, I'll add that soon. I would be very thankful for corrections to that manual in terms of helping me understand what goes on. Please, have patience with me, I come from a windows background and am not a native speaker of english ;) Bye, Gerson Kurz
