RW access from linux to NTFS is not considered very safe, right? What about FAT? (vfat, fat32) What about ext2/3 using the user-mode tool explorer2fs on windows? As for the crypto requirement: loop-mounted encrypted file-system? It may be aranged somehow (and be kept on a separate FAT partition), but I figure that it would take some work...
