I'm not aware of any GFS driver for Windows, though of course that doesn't
necessarily mean that one doesn't exist somewhere.

With the need for files 4GB these days (DVD .isos etc) the use of FAT32 for
a common data-area is not so ideal.

There is an ext3 driver for Windows, which works well except for the fact
that you have no filesystem security, all accesses are as root.

The ntfs-3g (Linux NTFS) driver is pretty stable these days, so another
alternative is to use NTFS for common data. Note that in some distros you
have to explicitly mount the partition with ntfs-3g, or it will be mounted
with the basic readonly NTFS driver.

Hi

I'm not sure whether I'm posting it in the right group or not.

Here is my issue : I previously had installed red hat Linux server 5 on my
system for testing purpose.Later on I installed Windows XP by formatting the
partitions I created when I was using Red Hat. Unfortunately all partitions
except for the GFS partition are accessible.Close to 13 GB of the hard
drives locked and not getting shown on Windows explorer. I tried to check
for software/drivers to do the same but no luck.
Help is always appreciated
