Hi,

I was about to create a bug report linked to a previous comment I wrote ( https://sourceforge.net/p/ext2fsd/discussion/143329/thread/ae5685f415/#dd5d ).
But this ticket seems close to my observations.
You'll find details below :

There seems to be a compatibility issue between ext2fsd v0.69 and a special feature inside ext4 filesystems : "64bit".
I have made some tests on a small partition :
* creating an ext4 filesystem under linux (FC30) : mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda8
* reboot Windows -> "You need to format the disk in drive before you can use it"
* remove "64bit" feature under linux : resize2fs -s /dev/sda8
(Pay attention using a recent version https://serverfault.com/questions/753693/remove-the-64bit-option-from-ext4-filesystem)
* reboot Windows -> the partition is available through its assigned drive letter

Should I crerate a new bug report or is it OK with this one ?

Regards,
H
