RE: [PLUG] Question about dual booting install.
|
Sorry, I've been away. As others have pointed out meanwhile, there's a good
reason write to NTFS isn't compiled into the kernel by default. That doesn't
mean you shouldn't use NTFS though, especially if the box is shared or
connected to the net. You can use a fat partition as a temp partition just
for moving across filesystems and NTFS partitions for the rest of your NT
install. If you do a lot you can create a short script to move stuff in or
out of the "temp" partition at boot-up (in either or both directions).
Personally, though I use both OSs frequently, I almost never have the need.
Since those are very rare occasions, I just ftp the file to a server and
then reboot into NT and retrieve it by ftp into NTFS.

Subject: Re: [PLUG] Question about dual booting install.
one problem that I have run into is that my redhat refuses to mount my
win2k/ntfs partition as read/write..even by hand I can only mount it
read/only
eventhough I specified at the cmd line I wanted the partition mounted as
rw.
have any clues?
