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? -- Leonardo Canducci - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key ID: 429683DA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
