Subj : Re: Specialised Dual Boot - Two Drives To : comp.os.linux From : Gernot Hassenpflug Date : Tue Dec 21 2004 11:15 pm you could also share a partition in VFAT (FAT32) filesystem format between Windows and linux. Since Windows will detect this partition automatically, no problem writing and reading. Linux can mount it too, so no problem there either. Of course, the trouble is that Windows does not respect ownership privileges. Hence this is only good for data. Never store sensitive data or programs on such a shared partition! I suppose thee best option is to use Samba to share Windows files, and vice versa. -- G Hassenpflug RASC, Kyoto University .
