Read Write access to partition from Windows and Linux
Hello suse-linux-e! I'm developing software in Delphi / Kylix. Lot of things are the same on both version of software. I'm using WinMerge to compare sources and managing between platforms. I need to have a place on harddisk which I can write and read from Windows and Linux too, I'm always copying Linux sources from Windows partition to Linux and if I make some changes I have to copy it back. Lot of times I make some mistakes and then I'm spending time to finding which copy of Linux sources is newer. I have two harddisks in my computer: 1. Fixed disk in case (main HDD for Windows) 2. removable in IDE rack (this is for Linux) I have my documentations in flash disk because only this one is read/write device for my in this moment, but this is very slow and very small for storing all files of Linux project. Thanks for all ideas. -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk

Create a FAT partition. Both OSs should be able to read from and write to it. Funny you should ask this. I was just thinking that the ability to read Reiser FS from Windows would be handy at times. Steven

You can... http://yareg.akucom.de/index.html http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html I've never tried them, so I can't comment on how good/bad they are, but it is possible... in theory. C.
Has worked fine for me... (for reading at least, dont trust writing) The reason I abolished all my fat partitions :) Cheers Dirk

I finally had occassion to use this last week and solve a real world problem. It was painless and worked beautifully, (YMMV of course): LTOOLS 6.10 Program to read LINUX Extended 2/3 and Reiser Filesystems on PCs from within DOS/Windows or from UNIX operating systems Original version 1.0 written by Jason Hunter and David Lutz at Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, USA Version 2.x and newer modified by Werner Zimmermann, FHTE Esslingen, Germany (Web: http://www.fht-esslingen.de/~zimmerma) ReiserFS (read only, not in DOS) support thanks to Gerson Kurz's RFSTOOL http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool/overview.html Revision 2.x and newer are released to public under the GNU GPL license. The newest version of the LTOOLS can be found under http://www.fht-esslingen.de/~zimmerma/software/ltools.htm regards, - Carl

Mount your fat-32 (Windows) partition read write, and use a directory on it for your Linux stuff, that way you'll have access to both sets of sources in either OS.
