I run SUSE 9.2 and XP professional dual-boot on two machines. The Windows drives are NTFS compressed and fat 32 and the 9.2 drives are reseirsf 9.2 default). From time to time it would be convenient to have a read/write access to the Windows drives while in Linux and the Linux drives while in Windows. This is a nonissue on the fat 32 partition but the only solution I have found so far is to reformat reseirsf to ext3 and use commercial software software from paragon systems. Paragon offers a free trial of their software so the only cost is time. Before I do this a couple questions: 1.) Is ext3 better or worse (or just different) that reseirsf? Well if you have many small files ReiserFS is a good choice. It has done well for me. I don't use windows anymore though.
If you do numbercrunching that spits out a lot of small "result-files" you'll love ReiserFS.
2.) Anyone have any experience with the paragon software on 9.2 and AMD64? 3.) Any other solutions I should look at?
Work on getting independent of windows ;-) I'll admit that can become a real struggle I you search the lists there has been discussions about choice of filesystem in the list before
