Hi all,

I have a dual boot machine.... Win2k + BSD...

obviously I can mount the windows partition under BSD.
can I mount the BSD partition(s) under windows?

I have been told that writing to the windows partition from BSD is kinda dubious. why is this? is it possible to work around this?





Unsure if there's anything to mount BSD partitions from within Windows- I wouldn't be surprised, but as Windows uses broken/different permissions and file attributes, I wouldn't really want to do this.

For mounting Windows filesystems, you can mount fat/vfat/fat32 partitions all day long read-write, but NTFS uses some sort of sequence IDs in their file attributes, which if ignored or screwed up, can cause serious issues on the filesystem....so in short, I don't mount NTFS read/write ;-)
