[opensuse] Fwd: EXT3 partition access on Windows?
Hi list, I am now completely onto the Linux OS (openSUSE 10.3). I removed Windows XP from system except that I have it installed on VMware and VirtualBox for some apps that WINE can't run and for college projects purpose. Now I have all the partitions in the EXT3 format. I want my external devices to be in ext3 format. However I want to access them in the R/W mode under other Windows OS. Is there any app so that I can do that? -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary ... and those who don't! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Use fat32 for the external device. Otherwise you will have problems using the device with other systems when visting for example friends. -- i.A.

http://www.fs-driver.org/ works also with ext3 use fat32 only if you want the device to be read by standard usb readers (not youe linux computer) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

fat 32 is really bad, as soon as you handle a large collection of files and/or large and it is slow. I use a ntfs partition on my otherwise ext3 formatted usb disk instead. This is because I do not have friends that still are on win 9x. Apart from one that I'll visit today and try to convert her to Linux. ;-)). I once tried to transfer 120 GB of music from win XP to a fat32 formatted external disk and it took days and nights. With ntfs it worked within one evening.

it's necessary if you want the drive to be seen by desktop non computer devices (dvd readers... TV slots) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Thanks to all. However I wanted to have a JOURNALIZED FS on my removable device. Since I do not know how to use NTFS on openSUSE in R/W mode, I wanted to use ext3 partition. But I think that either of FAT32 or NTFS is the solution. Since FAT32 is not journalized, I want to know, how to use a NTFS drive in R/W mode on Linux. I have ntfs-3g installed on my openSUSE 10.3 Can someone tell me how to get NTFS drives working in R/W mode on my Linux? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
