Explore2fs and IFS from fs-driver.org didn't work very well for me.  
Explore2fs would give me files of zero bytes sometimes, and the IFS 
would mark my ext3 fs as unclean or something, and I was suspecting it 
was corrupting data (although I can't really remember).

The thing I don't like is that the IFS isn't open source (or else I 
think it would already be much much better than it is today).  I 
contacted the owner of fs-driver.org, but I could only ever get two 
answers:  1) don't let windows hibernate (which I never do anyway), and 
2) it shouldn't do that (or it doesn't do that for anyone else).  And 
the person really had no intention on fixing it or doing more work on it 
apparently, so I gave up.
