I was wondering why it is often said that NTFS support on Linux is incomplete when there exists this package: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/

Just tested, and it works :-)
it was at least 6 month ago, they may have worked it :-)
at that time I had a dual boot system for video editing, and could not find any file system able to share 12Gb (one hour DV video) between windows and Linux. I gave up... and keep win.
now I share by samba, but it takes hours to copy :-(

hi jdd, i had quite the same situation, but it was music. Samba shares work, but, compared to a direct "R/W", they last for long, yes (at current home network speeds) Didn't want to lose win 'cause of music producing soft, but to be reworked in SUSE. And i had no problems having a FAT32 of more than 12GB (actually it has about 50GB). But FAT32 uses much space (clusters..), and has "no" security. While with the link (the captive), it can be an occasional way to *write* to a NTFS "needed" by specific soft (movie, music, whatever) (overwrite last movies changes, for you, for example) So that way you keep Win, but can keep Lin too :-) Cheers, Patrick M.
