XFS on Windows

Question

XFS

There is a disk, connected via USB, formatted in XFS, it contains the files I need.

How to read it in Windows (seven 64 bit). I used to do it somehow, download some drivers and it worked, but that was about 3 years ago. Now I can’t find anything or I’m looking in the wrong place / not looking for it.

It is clear that I can open it and mount it in an Ubuntu virtual machine (in theory), but this is not a solution.

As an option, it would be nice to convert it to NTFS with saving all the data on it, is there such software in nature?

POSIX only and not guaranteed to work

Answer 2

You, by chance, did not use the Crossmeta driver.
In short, about connecting XFS to Windows, I think that only a virtual machine or coLinux can really help. Source, for example, here . In general, this opinion is quite widespread on the Internet, as far as I read.
Reconversion, as such, is hardly possible. But with the help of the same virtual machine with linux and enough space on the hard drive (for example, removable) - you can merge the data, format and upload the data back.
