Common R/W file system for *nix and Windoze?
« on: December 10, 2005, 04:51:57 PM »
Hey guys,
One problem I have with my dual boot system is no common file system both can access equally. At the moment my SUSE setup can read my NTFS Windoze partition, but cannot write to it. I've tried Fat32 and can't seem to write to that either from SUSE. I'd like to have a common partition for all my media files that both OS can r/w. Suggestions?

Puppy Linux?

On Suse 9.2 I set permissions and was still SOL. I seem to remember reading somewhere online there is(was?) no write support for NTFS. Since you say you can, I'll try setting permissions on this SUSE 10.0 and see how it goes.

Nope, no luck. Won't let me change permissions. Read only.
