FYI:    The ext2 IFS driver for Windows v1.11a also appears to have the 
inode size issue:
    http://www.fs-driver.org/

I was not able to mount an ext2 filesystem with 256 byte inode size 
using this driver. Its installer will see that the filesystem exists, 
that it's ext2, but whenever you try to mount, you get nothing -- a very 
similar failure mode to the FreeBSD ext2fs driver.

Again, it sounds like the author is actively maintaining it, so it might 
be worth contacting him to pool resources.

cheers,
BMS
