Huzzah!  Writeable NTFS at last.

Hasn't this been the case for a while?  For some reason, I thought that another one I was looking at a few months ago had the ability to write.  I could (and probably did) misread something, though.

If that's the case, cool! :D

It's had limited write capability for awhile.  You could write to files, but you couldn't create files or change the size of files.

Nice, shows just how determined you guys are. Now maybe you can drop your crappy FSes.

Kinda like M$ dropping WinFS? ;)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Anyone know if this would allow you to install Linux to an ntfs partition (I don't see why not).  Would be nice to do for dual booters since linux file system editors for windows aren't exactly ideal.

I would not install it on a filesystem. IIRC it's not a kernel driver and IIRC it's nowhere ready to be a kernel replacement driver. Heh.

It's still beta ffs. :P

Psh, everything related to Linux is eternally in beta.

It's not ready to be a replacement driver because you guys use pussy permissions (owner, everyone else, root at read, write, execute).  NTFS granular permissions ftw!

I'm not an idiot ;)  I have no intention of installing an OS on a beta file system.  I just don't know enough about the linux architecture to know whether it is possible for it to install on a non ext2/3/reiser file system.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, even if it is a joke. 

That's the same as saying that nothing made by Microsoft works at all. 

The vast majority of software has a stable version and a beta version/head.  I actually can't think of anything I use that doesn't have a stable (non-beta) version.

Well, maybe I should move it to general discussion, since after all, I found it funny.

If it makes you happy, feel free to split off that post and move it to general.  As for the thread itself, the owner posted it in here, and I'm happy to oblige his wishes.

Heh, to be honest, I don't think a sane network administrator could use something with permissions as simple as the standard Linux FS's I've used (ext2/3).  Not to say I think ext2/3 are crappy file systems, but they're just not practical or robust enough for a huge network.

And yet the internet is hosted primarily on Linux machines... ???

It would appear they work just fine for global networks.  Well, that's only in practice...I'm not sure how it would work in theory though.
