Not necessarily. If the Linux files do not need to be accessed from the
windows environment, you could create an image file, format the image as
ext3, mount the image file as a loop device, and treat it as a standard
ext3 mount point.
# create a 10M empty file
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1024 count=10000
# format with ext3
mkfs.ext3 disk.img
# mount image
mkdir /mnt/mydata
mount -o loop disk.img /mnt/mydata
# read / write files
echo "hello world" > /mnt/mydata/hello.txt
ll /mnt/mydata
