ext4-view-rs

Note: This project is a fork of the original and has different design goals (including async and write support).

This repository provides a Rust crate that allows read-only access to an ext4 filesystem. It also works with ext2 and ext3 filesystems. The crate is no_std, so it can be used in embedded or osdev contexts. However, it does require alloc.

Design Goals

In order of importance:

1. Correct
   • All valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystems should be readable.
   • Invalid data should never cause crashes, panics, or non-terminating loops.
   • No unsafe code in the main package (it is allowed in dependencies).
   • Well tested.
2. Easy to use
   • The API should follow the conventions of [std::fs] where possible.
3. Good performance
   • Performance should not come at the expense of correctness or ease of use.
4. Writeable
