Re: [coLinux-devel] mounting ntfs

[Sean B. <sea...@so...>]

This is another message warning you against that. You may possibly
be able to get concurrent read access to the drive but writing to the
drive will corrupt your file system. There would certainlybe weird
results reading the drive over time when the partition is updated for the
drive from Windows. Also consider that ntfs support in Linux is and
probably always will be expermental code. I would go with samba too
but try checking this out: http://winscp.sourceforge.net/

please guide me in the right direction?
