Re: How to access a Linux partition
How does Cygwin access a Linux partition? Thank You, It doesn't. If you want to access Linux ext[23] partitions under Windows you will need a filesystem driver for your version of Windows.

There's no way to directly access a file system in Cygwin. Cygwin relies on Windows for file access. If you can find a file system driver for Windows that accesses one of the many Linux file system types, then Cygwin will have access to those file systems. Without non-standard (non-Microsoft) file system drivers, you're limited to FAT, NTFS and SMB. Thank You, You're most welcome.

Hmm... If you are looking for network access then you should have said so. Just plain ol' samba (http://samba.org) is written in C and works quite well. cgf -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
