If you want to mount "My Documents", you can create a VFAT partition, and then from within Windows mount that partition on your "My Documents" directory. However, since that directory is a "system" directory, it'll probably take some effort on your part to convince Windows to let you move/rename/mount the directory as necessary while doing this task (at least, that was the situation for me with the "Program Files" directory when I did it once).
The Linux howtwo on this subject warns about directly mounting My
Documents from Windows in Linux, and suggests creating a separate vfat
partition to share files. Is that really necessary? What are the reasons
(they were not mentioned in the article)?
