Hi everyone,

I'm new to linux and am starting to use it as my primary box in a Windows 2000 network at work. My question is...

Is it safe to use Samba on NTFS shares? I read somewhere that it was unsupported and has problems writing to, and that I should only use FAT drives. I think that might have been in regards to Linux in general, not necessarily Samba, because Linux doesn't support NTFS. Am I OK to write to NTFS drives using Samba? I did a test and it seems to work well...

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, writing to an NTFS partition via samba is fine. In that case Linux isn't writing anything to the partition, Window's is.
