| Hi:
I just installed SuSE 10.1 yesterday (for those bitching about the MS +
Novell alliance, I made up my mind among other distros because of that
- great, now no one will answer me).
I was wondering if NTFS could be succesfully written on Linux. I have a
Partition which I use for data only, it has 0 programs, only data. It
is NTFS but it is not protected by XP (I got tired of having ot
unprotect all the files each time I formatted the Windows Partition).
I've been reading some stuff (I am not asking just because I want a
quick answer) about captive and NTFS-3G. I wanted to someone to
enlighten me on thsi topic. Is it safe given that my NTFS is not
protected? Do I still have to unmount manually the partion before
shutdown? What if I don't? Is there any risk of all my data being lost
or just the one I write in Linux? can I loose the whole partition?
Which method is better (NTFS-3G, Captive, Paragon - it costs, damn)
Can anyone please help me with this? |

I have done a little with the captive ntfs driver - found it from the
'knoppix hacks' book. It seems to work. |
