[Leaplist] Ext3 partition

[Ram K. Singh]

Thanks Kyle,

What it is that I am using a 260 GB hard drive to sore and backup my linux files but I also have some old windows files that I wish to save on the same hard drive ( saves money I guess) So I was trying to save both files on the same drive.  Drive came partitioned as NTFS  but could not be used for Linux files so I partitioned 2/3 of the disk for ext3..

Ram,

Linux can read/write NTFS much better than Windows can read/write
ext2/3.  And if you are using LVM in Linux, it is much more difficult
to use ext2/3 in Windows.

If you require a shared file system that can be read by both Windows
and Linux, I would recommend, as much as it pains me, to use NTFS or
FAT32.
