Strange Ubuntu/Vista Compatibility Bug, Solved
Walter Vos writes "Since I've been running Vista and Ubuntu in dual boot with a shared FAT32 partition for my personal folders, I've been seeing some strange compatibility issues between these two operating systems. Somehow Vista locks the folders on the FAT32 partition that are used for folders like Documents, Downloads, etc. A blogpost I wrote gives a detailed description of the problem and a fix for it."
ntfs-3g worked pretty well for me, except for I/O intensive applications. aMule with all its I/O on a NTFS partition of VMware with all the virtual machine's file on a NTFS partition as well were pretty slow. Actually I think VMware was so slow that 99% of the CPU was actually taken up by ntfs-3g, meaning VMware was crawling.
You just got troll'd!
I thought was supposed to be "red and green should never be seen?"
As far as I know they're only ext2 drivers. Of coarse, you can usually mount ext3 as ext2 without any issues.
if the owner/group permissions were set properly in fstab an easier solution would prevail

Well, at least I adblock.
Hmm, I'm having a problem with permissions between Vista and Ubuntu. What should I do?
Adopt a philosophy of ideological inflexibility, intolerance, ignorance, immaturity, and narcissism?
...or...
Run a shell script or two?
Decisions, decisions...
It's lame that people feel like they're being held hostage by an operating system that they don't otherwise want, and it's lame that MS is making money off that. If you actually want Windows for one reason or another, then it's not lame at all.
ext2 works pretty well for ext3 drives so they don't care enough to do it. Anyone who does care about ext3 that much i'd guess probably doesn't care that much about windows.
This is a joke. I am joking. Joke joke joke.
It's not necessarily you being lame, it's either game developers being lame by not porting their games
Up until very recently, it was also video card manufacturers being lame by not making OpenGL drivers for Linux that the community can help debug. But ATI, one of the two makers of chipsets for video cards,[1] plans to stop being lame. And some people would claim that it's distribution maintainers being lame by not providing more thorough binary compatibility across multiple families of GNU/Linux distributions. ("What's an LSB again?")
[1] Intel GMA is not available on a card.
At least $200! Thats almost two developer hours of money!
Pretty certain you can chuck whatever cert you want in the trusted root store / disable this behaviour.
