First I don't want to derail the thread, so I'll be quick. I confess a poor choice of words. 2 weeks ago I was helping a new mac user scavenge 5 years worth of digital pictures from her NTFS formatted drive. She had written to it with the mac port of ntfs-3g, and, shazam! drive empty after reboot. A rare problem, it seems. But, there it was. In general I only gained problems not using the native, mainstream, filesystem on an OS. Any OS. With filesystems, a "problem" usually means files lost forever, or a lot of stress and time spent repairing. It ain't funny, so whenever possible, I try minimizing the chances, and using the same system as everybody else. I go mainstream when choosing my FS. NTFS on linux is not the middle of the road. Well ok, it's a 6-lane highway :)
Anyways, Bruce S. has a backup, and this is commendable indeed, regardless of the FS. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66800 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
