I don't understand why we - as a community - have to make do with one or the other. If it is a question posed to me personally, it does make sense. ;) I do see that NTFS-for-Linux does have more use. But I still stick to my stand that one does not replace the other. :)) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Leon Brooks Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] Software submission for the Mandrake distribution On Thu, 21 Aug 2003 19:08, Manoj Joseph wrote: > Are you suggesting that writing an ext2 driver for windows is > the wrong approach and writing an ntfs driver is the right one? > If that is what you say, I disagree. > IMHO *both* are required.

If you had to make do with one, a full-featured NTFS driver for Linux would be the best from a migrational PoV. Which system do you *want* to spend the most time in? Ext[23] from MS-Windows seems to being addressed at least three times, NTFS for Linux not quite once. It makes sense to me to put more effort into bringing the NTFS-for-Linux up to par - *if* you have a choice - than to polish the extN-for-MS-Windows driver. Cheers; Leon
