Hello everyone,
I have been plagued by my Windows 7 boot not being able to read from and write to my EXT4 partitions.
I have to reinstall my entire system, and I would like to have Windows and Linux in dual-boot with my data, including "home" and "Users" folders, on partitions that both OS's can read from and write to, separate from the partitions containing the OS's.
Which file system, if any, may be fully utilized by both, Linux and Windows, just as well as each supports its native file system, without any practical file size limitations or excessive CPU requirements?
I have tested NTFS using a flash drive, and it appears that Linux has no problem writing and reading +4GB files to/from it (unlike the limitation of FAT32). However, I keep hearing that Linux does not like NTFS. What are those weaknesses I keep hearing about, if they still exist? If they still exist, would poor performance result from the "home" folder being placed on a NTFS file system?
Thank you!
