Cygwin to make ext2fs, xfs, reiserfs aware in windows

["ntfsd__AT__pavitrasoft" <ntfsd at pavitrasoft dot com>]

Hi all,
What would be best way to make cygwin dll aware of existence of UNIX 
file systems ext2fs, ffs, nfs, xfs and reiserfs.  Currently with our 
software Crossmeta it will go through windows layer and the results 
will not be good. It will have the same problem of ls -l taking lot of 
time and security uid/gid mapping confusion.  Instead if it can be 
converted to make use of VFS style calls getdents, stat ..etc directly 
to crossmeta the results will be great. Crossmeta also provides windows 
native file system via loopback file system driver.
I am guessing the file handler code would be the starting point for 
this and replace dll entry points for those. Is this going to be lot of 
effort?

PS:
Crossmeta can be downloaded from
