I have a dual-boot laptop running on the one hand Windows XP (sorry)
and on the other hand good old FreeBSD.
My question: is it possible to exchange data files between both both
operaing systems in an easy and efficient way?
For example, saving all my MP3s on a separate data partition and
playing the same music despite which operating system I am using?
Thanks alot in advance.
hi!
freebsd can mount ntfs read only and with limited writing support
(see 'man mount_ntfs' for details. (should be enough for playing mp3s).
you can create a fat32 partition which freebsd and windows can read and
write, or a ext2fs partition and get a ext2fs driver for windows. i'm
not totally sure, but think freebsd can write ext2fs.

hello,
when i mount a fat32 partition some files have different case (see
below) then in windows. how come ??
e.g.:
$ ll
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 734 Mar 1 2005 a.txt
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 649 Mar 16 2003 A.txt~
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 1110 Mar 27 2003 b.txt
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 2980 Jun 6 23:46 c.txt
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 2475 Mar 1 2005 C.txt~
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 2563 Jun 10 12:49 d.txt
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 2561 Jun 10 12:42 D.txt~
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 1015 Jun 7 00:25 e.txt
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 681 Mar 16 2003 E.txt~
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 602 Mar 16 2003 f.txt
-rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 421 Mar 16 2003 g.txt
in windows all the files above have first letter in uppercase, that is
"A.txt" for instance.
is this a known issue (why??) or am i missing something or what?
regards,
martin
