Re: Linux read/write access to NTFS partition

I agree with you concerning the support. But I have to work with files
larger than 4Go and FAT32 doesn't support that. So I have to make a
choice ( cause I am still working with the 2 OS ) : NTFS or EXT3FS

What do you suggest me ?

Use the EXT driver for windows, the key thing is partition. Don't mount
your Linux OS partition just mount a data partition. That should keep
you from hosing anything.
So like this, 3 partitions:
Win(NTFS)/Linux(EXT3)/Data(EXT3)
