Re: [Staffslug] Windows/Linux shared partition
I'm not trying to be funny or get one over on anybody, it's
just that
it seems more sensible to me to use something for mission critical
work that has been built to work with all aspects out in the open.
NTFS is not designed to work with Linux it is designed only for
Windows NT systems and only works under Linux because of the hard work
conducted by many people in our community. That work has been carried
out blindfold in some cases with guess work to get it working.
This was the case a few years back but NTFS-3G is perfectly stable and
proven and the company behind has even signed an IP agreement with MS

Personally I would use NTFS with NTFS-3G rather than an Windows driver
that half supports EXT3 (does not support the journalling as
previously mentioned).
