thanks for answering, first! I was planning to create a fat32 partition
to share data between linux and win2k. now I know I really need it. I
heard that it's not advisable to write on a ntfs partiton from linux -
that's annoying enough - but if there are problems even reading I would
switch to fat.
just the last question: why xmms can read from ntfs? it's not using
mmap?
