Title: RE: ext2fs access from Cygwin

I have the ext2fs ext2 file system driver running on my system now.  There is however a problem.  The file sizes that show up fine with dir (CMD.EXE) and Explorer all show a 0 when ls -l (Cygwin bash) is used.

I don't quite understand why CMD and Explorer can determine the sizes and Cygwin cannot, but I'm sure going to look into it further.

God Bless all!
