| Apr 8, 2022 at 17:49 | comment | added | stevep | @JW0914 Thank you. Through The LinuxFileSystems, I found that mke2fs creates an EXT4 partition thought command line, and it's open source | |
| Apr 8, 2022 at 17:48 | comment | added | stevep | Well, I can create two empty partitions like I want with AOEMI almost instantly (<5s of waiting time), where writing an ISO takes significantly longer. Besides, I'd prefer to manage a script that I can change instead of shuffling around a "master file" | |
| Apr 8, 2022 at 16:53 | comment | added | grawity_u1686 | You say writing an image "takes forever" – why do you think writing data from an image takes longer than writing the exact same data using a filesystem creation tool? | |
| Apr 8, 2022 at 14:41 | comment | added | JW0914 | @stevep The only way I know of to create ext4 partitions on Windows is via Paragon's Linux Filesystems for Windows and it does support CLI (second from the bottom under Features) | |
| Apr 8, 2022 at 14:31 | comment | added | stevep | OK, I'll look into EXT4FSD. For WSL2, is it possible to start this automatically? So if I could launch WSL2 from powershell and have it run a bash script, that'd work fine. | |
| Apr 8, 2022 at 14:11 | comment | added | Señor CMasMas | I haven't tried.. (thus the comment) but Windows 11 WSL2 is supposed to be able to access EXT4 in all of its glory. This might be no different to you than running a Linux machine on the floor though. Ext4Fsd is supposed to be able to do this.. but I haven't tried it myself. | |
