I am putting Ubuntu onto a server, that will act as a storage centre and media server. I intend to use something like rsync to send data to the server on a reasonably regular basis.
PROBLEM: I want my laptop (XP) to be able to access and use the data on the server (sever will stay on but PC won't). Do I have to ensure that my server is setup in Ext3 or something else so that the laptop can use the data on it? Will the server be able to deal with the NTFS based data from the PC? I see that there are several file systems: Ext2,3 and 4 (is this available yet), XFS etc.
Thanks very much for any help you can give me!:)
Oh yeah, the server will hopefuly stream media to the PS3. I guess the data will also have to be in NTFS format so please can you extend your answer to that too? Thanks very much!!
