If you install samba the filesystem doesn't matter. Your windows pc asks samba something, samba looks it up and replies. Your windows pc has no direct access to the disk. So you could use fat32, ntfs, ext2, ext3, reiser3, reiser4, jfs, xfs or something else.
Installing fat32 to share between linux and windows is only needed if you install both on the same pc, for a portable disk or usb key that gets connected to both OS's or something like that. And even then you can use ntfs since linux can use it (maybe need a kernel compile if not included by default) or ext as there are windows drivers fot it. -- Havoc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Havoc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5064 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39079 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
