Answers to: Reading/Writing from/to a partition from Linux and Windowshttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/416/readingwriting-fromto-a-partition-from-linux-and-windows<p>Here's the use case: I dual boot Windows and Linux. There are heaps of files that I share between them (one example would be about 65GB of snaps). I therefore need a partition that at the very minimum:</p> <ol> <li>Linux can read and write</li> <li>Windows can read</li> </ol> <p>Ideally, I'd like both OSes to be able to read and write to it. Obviously, this depends on how I format the partition. I'm currently using NTFS. </p> <p>So, does anyone know of an alternative way of doing it? Speed is not a concern. Accessibility of the data is. Secondary to that is the best possible use of the available space.</p> <p>Options I've already tried:</p> <ol> <li>An ext3 parition with ext2fsd on Windows. Not good enough because I've had BSODs while trying to copy heaps of folders simultaneously</li> <li>Multiple FAT32 partitions. NTFS is better. </li> </ol>enFri, 20 Jan 2017 15:53:43 -0000
