Re: [coLinux-users] coLinux and ext2fsd don't play well together

[Sam M. <pa...@gm...>]

But there are options to work around this, for example Samba or NFS.
If there is a fully working coLinux installation with networking, both
Samba (for Windows and Linux) or NFS (mostly for Linux, but Windows
clients and servers do exist, the Cygwin nfsd appears to be stable)
are available to access partitions from either side of the gate, just
requires a bit of setting up.
