I have a multi-boot machine and need to share some files

device, like my Windows XP partition.
I've heard that there is no problem mounting an NTFS volume
and reading it using Fedora Core 2, but that there are perhaps
problems *writing* to such a volume from FC2. Since the
direction I mostly need to go is FC2->WXP, this is of some
concern to me.
Can anyone answer this question for me? And where do I go
to research this without bothering people here? New to FCx
and don't know how to do the search at redhat.com yet.

First of all you must make sure your kernel supporst ntfs filesystem.
You can download appropriate rpm package here:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
Than you need to reconfigure your fstab.conf file (/etc/fstab.conf)
I just added: /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs defaults,umask=0 0 0
Should work as long as your ntfs partition is hda1. Otherwise make sure
you point to the correct partition.
