Currently, I have a USB drive formatted in NTFS, because, I want it to be accessible by friend's XP machine in case of emergencies. and I would convert it to ReiserFS once your code is stable enough.
having a read only mode is fine with me; write mode would be a nice option, but it's not important in my case.
My impression is Hans doesn't like the Idea, but a stripped down version of ReiserFS driver for windows could be a good thing, and encourages more people to use ReiserFS.

This summer, I will be starting a 3.5-month project to create an
Installable File System Driver (IFSD) to read ReiserFS under Microsoft
Windows, similar to ext2fsd. (The project is a practicum to complete
my degree in software engineering from Carnegie Mellon.)
I have three questions:
* Is anyone out there interested in using the tool as it is developed?
* Is anyone out there interested in mentoring the development of the
tool? (This basically consists of answering specific technical
questions when they arise.)
* Other than compliance to the GPL, are there any other liscensing
factors I should be aware of?
For anyone interested, my initial plan is to port the read-only ReiserFS
3 code from the GRUB bootloader, and turn it into an IFSD using the same
techniques as in ext2fsd -- although I'd love to hear other ideas, and
opinions of whether the project might be feasible with ReiserFS 4.
Thanks,
