share hd win and linux
Hello
I want to create 3 partitions of my harddisk. #1 winxp install ++ #2 linux mandrake 10 install ++ #3 data of all kinds that i can access using both windows and linux (mp3s,movies +++) does #3 have to be on a special file system, and what are the things I need to do in order to get this set up right? Help is much appreciated! If this has been answered previously feel free to direct me there :) |
There are a few options.
1) Fat32: I wouldn't recommend this one. While both should be able to read/write to it, you will eventually get corruption issues on that drive. 2) Format with a linux fs, and get Paragon. Paragon allows you to have r/w access to ext2, ext3, and reiserFS (IIRC) from Windows. However, it's a pay thing. 3) Captive NTFS Linux driver (or some other Linux NTFS driver): This might be your best bet. I haven't tried it out yet, but it'll allow Linux to read/write to NTFS. There are a couple of drivers out there for this. I wouldn't recommend using something like Explore2fs - it's slow. :) Hope that helps. |
