I ask this, because I want to use a ntfs partition for /home, so I can access it from Windows XP.
My /etc/fstab:

Manipulating Linux file permissions works fine from this.

Great.

So can I use this configuration to have full benefit of a journalling file system?

No.
So it seems better to use ext4 + Ext2FSD <http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd> for Windows access.
Any recommendations ?

Ext2FSD doesn't support journaling... so it's no better in that respect. It also doesn't fully support Ext4 yet (extents, xattrs are unsupported). (Also, I'm convinced that NTFS-3G is more widely tested and used than Ext2FSD. Still, I'm sure it's a good project.)

Regards,
