Gowator Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hmm.. problem is you need to use a FAT32 to share a data drive and this is really not very suited to capturing MM. Not anymore- you can use NTFS. The FUSE 3g-ntfs read/write driver works "almost" flawlessly ( free space isn't reported correctly, and no metadata are handled ), but it's very fast, very reliable and with no stupid 4 GB filesize limitation. Quite easy to build and install as well- it's fuse based. Yes but is it fast enough for streaming recording? Bearing in mind doing this properly usually involves tuning the filesystem or even choosing a different one I expect that there could be some small delays which mess up actually streaming?

null Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 the whole 160 GB drive is NTFS. win2k is on the C partition, which is only 28 GB. I'd like to change it to about half the drive, or 80 GB. I have already downloaded the small "net install" debian Testing CD for amd64 architecture. I'll install it to the D partition, which is currently NTFS and approximately 132 GB. I'll let the debian installer make all of D ext3. I probably need partition magic to non-destructively re-size these partitions. I own PM 7, but I can't find the cd... Is there a freebie partition manager that's similar to PM?

scarecrow Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Why not leaving the NTFS drive 'as it is" and using 3g-ntfs to read/write to it? I can assure you it's the first Linux NTFS driver that works fine, with a couple of minor 9actually not-so-minor...) limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
