When installing dual boot with FAT /FAT32 on the Windows partition, it is safe to boot to linux, mount the windows partition (as vfat) , than create files on the Windows partition, delete files on the linux partition, etc. Is it also safe to do this when the windows partition is NTFS ? I remeber that in the past it was unsafe to do it , and it was recommended to mount the NTFS as read only. But time passed since last time I invesitgated this topic. Does anybody has an experience with mounting windows NTFS parition from linux and writing/updating/deleting files there?
Personally I'm not sure. However I was looking at this topic again recently (since it seems I might finally have to give up on Win Me and start using at least 2000), and it's seems that the linux-ntfs project <http://www.linux-ntfs.org/> has had some recent success producing a user-space read-write implementation. It's based on FUSE and still in testing, but it looks like things are finally happening. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
