Hello guys!

I am going to migrate nodes from Win to Ububtu docker to increase reliability. As I understood, HDD file system to be changed from NTFS to Ext4. I am going to copy node from NTFS HDD to Ext4 HDD by robocopy

I have installed DiscGenius to format drive to Ext4 and did it:

And also installed Ext2 Volume Manager, which is required what Win10 can recognize Ext4 Hdd (I google this method)
image
Win can recognize disk at disk manager:

But drive is still missing from Win explorer:

Is there any other good method to make Ext4 drive visible from Win10?

Alexander

Linux File Systems for Windows by Paragon Software
https://www.paragon-software.com/home/linuxfs-windows/

This is a trial version, should work 30 days normal, after this the speed is reduced but it still works.

It mentions to navigate the menu item from DiskGenius. Tools then Service management. You can start it from Windows services too but search what its called. I can see Paragon’s service as suggested by @Krawi

The other way is to use WSL2 and mounting the ext4 disk, see

There you would have both options - robocopy from Windows and rsync from WSL2.
