Re: [Staffslug] Windows/Linux shared partition
2009/10/31 Russ <russ(a)phillipsuk.org>:
Hi people,
I'm looking at dual-booting a laptop, and am planning to split the hard
drive into three partitions, one for Windows, one for Linux, and one
that both systems can access.
I was going to use FAT32 for the shared partition, because last time I
did this (some years ago), that was the best option for a partition that
both Linux & Windows needed to access. However, it has limitations (like
2GB maximum file size) that could be problematic. Does anyone have a
better suggestion for which file system I should use?

Have you thought about ext3? I understand that with the correct
'drivers' (if that is the correct term or would it be better called
libraries?) Windows plays nicely with ext3 now. I've been thinking of
trying this myself but I may wait until I have upgraded my Ubuntu tin.
