Re: [Staffslug] Windows/Linux shared partition
2009/10/31 Chris Snow <cr.snow(a)gmail.com>:
let me put it this way... NTFS support under linux or ext support
under
windows... I know which I'd trust more with my data!
Yes, and me and it wouldn't be a closed source file format either :-)
I may have it wrong and it's ext2 that has MS Windows support?
Whichever, it's the one I'd rather go with. After all, the open
source version has been built to transparently work with both OS's.
NTFS has a lot of guess work in there.
The last time I had Linux NTFS problems? A few weeks ago. It simply
could not read from an external HDD that was NTFS formatted. I ended
up transferring the data onto a FAT32 formatted HDD and Linux (Ubuntu
9.04) read it sweet as a nut then.
