Hmmm,

I guess it goes back to my original post?

AFAIK it is safe to use FAT32 but you use *nix to write on NTFS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND WITH NO RECOURSE?

I have a .308 Winchester........................it has no "experimental" warnings on it either .......open source stuff is usually covered by a general liability disclaimer anyway?....I would generally translate "experimental" as something like "alpha" or "beta" release????

I wonder if SCO realise the potential liabilities that come with trying to hijack open source?

If you are going to do this, my friend, I suggest you make sure that you have a nice mirror backup, or do it on something that doesn't matter I do not believe that the technology is quite developed enough?

It is your choice.................

Good luck

EDIT: I have looked at some of my kit and had some thought on how I might try to do it safely:

NTFS partition #1.....................Windows OS
NTFS partition #2.....................Windows applications
NTFS partition #3.....................Windows Data
NTFS aprtition #4.....................Mirror of Windows Data
Linux Partitions.........as required

I would then let the *nix share the "mirror" (NTFS#4) data file (NOT a RAID1 array, BTW.........just a copy)

Until you are happy that you have something stable that won't corrupt? In any case there is absolutely no need for the *nix to access the first two NTFS partitions?

Cheers
