My problem has not been with NTFS corruption in Linux, but with NTFS' propensity to mark itself dirty in a way that Linux refuses to fix. I then have to wait to go into work to mount in in windows and allow it to be marked OK so that Linux will mount it again. If I find that FAT32 will not make this drive usable, I have a nice hammer that will make it into usable scrap metal. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
