moin, moin,

I believe samba works on m$ either natively or via cygwin.

Can it read ext3 and reiser filesystems when running under m$ or is it
dependent on some kernel module that m$ for obvious reasons doesn't want
to exist?

I was talking to someone today about his company supporting duel-boot
systems and thought of a way to maybe fix the incompatable filesystem
issues. The common filesystem between linux and m$ is fat32, which sucks a
lot.

Then it occured to me that maybe the m$ box could run samba server and
export an ext3 or reiser partition as a share back to itself. This depends
on samba being able to read ext3 and/or reiserfs w/o help from a kernel
module and that m$ can mount local smb shares.

I kinda doubt the latter, but maybe we can come up with a way to make it
happen if we can get the former working.

ciao,
