Gooly Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 How to mount NTFS/Fat32/ext3/reiser fs partitions with read/write options. Should we recompile the kernel ?

R. Bear Helms Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 NTFS read/write: Impossible, even for the most cutting-edge Linux. The access methods to achieve that are Microsoft trade secrets. FAT32: Suppoted by OS X for read/write already. I have a USB drive that was r/w with FAT32 on it, accessable by both OSes. ext3: Perhaps some Darwine application or other-party software for OS X. BSD Unix did not follow exactly in the footsteps of Linus Torvalds. reiser: never heard of it. Most utility programs (heck, just about all programs) are listed by Versiontracker.com - they also track known bugs, and should offer details as to whether a given application is Universal Binary or not.

Dee S. 73 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 NTFS read/write: Impossible, even for the most cutting-edge Linux. The access methods to achieve that are Microsoft trade secrets. Linux can read/write ntfs since 2002..... reiser: never heard of it. never heard 'bout Xfs too ? Looks like u are missing a few things 'bout journaled-filesystems ...... World isnt just Apple..... hfs+ isn the best implementation of journaling for sure...and would have been much better to use bfs instead....or to have xfs support too..

jbjonas Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I thought that using the current ntfs read/write support in Linux you opened the possibility of extremely damaging your ntfs partition, and making it unusable to windows...

Ouch Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 You do - i wouldn't risk using linux to write to an ntfs windows partition unless i didn't care too much about its contents remaining intact.

Metrogirl Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I agree - NTFS can be royally screwed by Linux - I know, I've done it... But although you can't write, you can read NTFS safely enough from OSX. At least I've had no problems on my dual boot system.

PGHammer Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 NTFS read/write: Impossible, even for the most cutting-edge Linux. The access methods to achieve that are Microsoft trade secrets. FAT32: Suppoted by OS X for read/write already. I have a USB drive that was r/w with FAT32 on it, accessable by both OSes. ext3: Perhaps some Darwine application or other-party software for OS X. BSD Unix did not follow exactly in the footsteps of Linus Torvalds. reiser: never heard of it. Most utility programs (heck, just about all programs) are listed by Versiontracker.com - they also track known bugs, and should offer details as to whether a given application is Universal Binary or not. NTFS: Read-only works (via the included SMB support; it's why OS X can be a solid citizen in Windows-based workgroups). One thing I did originally just for grins I do now simply for the jaw-drop factor: I start iTunes (on the Tiger partition) with a playlist consisting *entirely* of music on my NTFS partition. I don't need write access to my NTFS partition (from OS X). Due to program suitability issues, I do my torrent downloads on the NTFS partition (XP MCE 2005). Same with p2p. Because I'm still in MCE the majority of the time, this is not exactly a minus. Since I keep data files and applications separate (a habit that started when I would dual-boot Windows and Linux) any data files that I would access from both OS X and Windows are in pre-separated folder on the NTFS partition (video files, audio files, documents, etc.).
