Re: [Staffslug] Windows/Linux shared partition

2009/11/4 JENETTE PALMER <jenette.palmer(a)btinternet.com&gt;: Glad to be of some help :-) To be fair, file systems are very much partitioning in Linux. Some users like their partitions set up in a certain way and can cite very good reasons why it works for them. Then there are others who are happy to allow the distro to just partition as it comes out of the box. Generally speaking I think more people will stick with the filesystem that the distro automatically uses and it can, in some cases be difficult to change the main ones that are used for 'root', 'home' and 'swap' (which is a specific file system in itself and best not messed with I believe). If you have, or add, more partitions then it's easier to set that up with a different file system to experiment and see if one is quicker than another. -- ============================================== Kevan Linux user #373362 Staffordshire ********************************************** www.freeworld-recycling.org 'From me to you towards a sustainable future.' **********************************************
