Cool! It would be cool to get read-only access at least for ext4 for macOS and Windows.

Since it's no_std, are you planning to use this in an embedded project or something?

Thanks! Actually, I decided to make this library during a OS course in which I made a microkernel (non usable but you can found it here). So currently the project is only to make this library, and I hope other projects will begin to use it if it becomes enough stable ^^

Have you looked at Redox OS? It's a microkernel-based OS written in Rust, and I'm guessing they could use something like this. I don't know what support they already have, but surely they don't have every basic filesystem implemented.

That said, the GPL v3 may be problematic, depending on the project. Still cool regardless though.

Thanks! Yes I look into RedoxOS and I would like to take a look deeper in it to see if the FS could be interesting to implement
