Lee Revell schrieb: NTFS read works reliable. NTFS write support: 1) with the inkernel driver you can only overwrite existing files without changing their size. 2) with some FUSE driver avail somewhere, you might be able to create files, change file sizes, and so on. but it might not work (they say that won't b0rk anything, it will just fail). if you are interested, RTFM. what i would suggest: a) do not use windowz3 ;) ok, as you seem to need it, here is my suggestion: partition your disk: use ntfs for your primary windowze partition, and add a small (~1GByte) partition with fat32 to exchange data. ths way you can read the windows data from within linux, copy files acroos easily using that partition. you also may use ext3 for your linux partition. ext3's performance may be subpar to reiserfs or xfs, but there are some windows tools that can read and write data from an ext2 partition. cause ext3 is an extension of ext2, you can use these toolz to read your data. i'd still suggest you to have this data-exchange fat32 partition, as it's easier to just read data from that partition in windowze, instead of first having to use some tool to copy it over from linux, but: this tool might be of interest considering the following: you are in teh M$ OS, and you just notice that you forgot to copy something from linux, so you have to reboot to linux, copy over, reboot to windowze. this really sucks, so the possibility to read the linux partition within windows comes handy. and if you care about FS performance, i'd suggest to have /home on a seperate ext3 partition, as /home usually holds all the "data", and use what you like for the / partition. also, ther is maybe some tool that can read reiser partitions under windows, but i don't remember, use g00gle ;) tom

You can read/write in NTFS perfectly with this: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ The main problem here is the performance... It isn't suitable for audio work. André Magoo Em Domingo 04 Dezembro 2005 23:43, Jan Depner escreveu:
