RE: [Samba] How to share WIN partitions from SAMBA (Dual boot) Srvrto WIN clients?

 There _is_ a write-read ntfs driver available for Linux. It's
 called Captive. I've not tested it myself. So I can only inform.

Yes, I know.  But it's dangerous to actually use, and can only be safely
used to overwrite files of exactly the same size, which has been used by

expect read/write support to work.

YOU WILL CORRUPT YOUR NTFS VOLUME!

  AM trying to share a LOCAL  (and presumably MOUNTed) WIN partition.
 
 OK.
 
  Why am I doing this? On my home network, the WIN client 
 runs WIN apps 
  like MS OUTLOOK that share one common OUTLOOK data file 
 (one user at a 
  time) with my server WINXP machine. I want to have this 
 box in Linux
  mode (not WIN).
 
 You don't have many options then.
 
 1) If you're stuck with using NTFS, you can only use 
 read-only mode. Make

There's a few Live-Cds which does provide that driver. (it uses 
NT's native ntoskrnl and ntfs.sys as a wrapper) 

BitDefender based on Knoppix Has that, but unfortunately, I've 
not gotten round to testing it.
