You aren't a sophomore any longer.... although I like the word way better than "junior". Sophomore literally means: "wise fool". Cool. You’re going to have to change your masthead.

I would be most interested to explore the security issues around dual-OS permissions. Say I have a protected folder in Linux on the drive. How do I grant permissions to a Windows user for that folder? Does that happen on the Windows side? If so how is security maintained? Basically I'm curious about what the interface between the two could be and how would security behave in relation to it. Your thoughts? That’s an interesting approach.

Your thoughts?

UDF is an interesting idea. I'll have to look into it. I’m not exactly comfortable writing to NTFS from Linux, especially since I don’t know how it handles permissions and security descriptors.

On my box it is slower than writing to FAT but it does the job. Another option ist to use the UDF Filesystem which can not just only be used on optical media but also on harddiscs. well i don’t know if you have already herad, but since a few months there is a open source FUSE NTFS driver which supports writing to NTFS.
