Hi,
I'm a long time Linux user, but sometimes I need to run windoz to do somes tasks. I usually does them in batch and it keep my computer busy for a few days every once in a month or two. I would like to know if there any way to share the same freenet directory between these two OS.
In fact, I'm actually doing it... Freenet is on a FAT32 volume, and since Linux and windoz versions doesn't use the same config file, I have no problems with path or any system-dependant configuration. It looks like Freenet developpers had this kind of installation in mind when they designed it.
However, everytime I switch OS, I lose all my datastore.
Is the long file name support coherent between Windows and Linux? The datastore uses lfn:s so breakage in it would break the datastore. You should probably take a file listing from Windows before switching to linux (or vice versa) and compare the listing with the actual display on the other OS.

Long file names should bo ok. I never had problems, and sometimes even use Wine on windoz-installed apps that often deal with very-long-with-all-kind-of-weird-caracters file names.
Also, linux's FAT32 driver doesn't care for case... However, if the Freenet client get a directory listing and do case-sensitive operations on it, it may fail... (and that would definetly be a bug of Freenet since hex strings doesn't care about case)
I'll follow-up on it if I find anything significant.
Thanks
