ReiserFS on windows


Recommended Posts

i'm a convert to linux now. i configured the pc at work to be a dual-boot box - windows and ubuntu ultimate edition. there is still windows for my co-workers who still don't want to use linux. since i don't own the machine and it is for all, i only use linux if they don't use the pc.

my question is, if they're using the pc under windows, how will i access the partitions/files in linux?

tnx.

OT: also, where can i find the list of windows apps equivalent in linux. i mean for example, ms office = openoffice, how about adobe indesign equivalent in linux?

Indesign equivalent in linux is probably scribus... http://www.scribus.net/

Ther are several sites where you can find more info on alternative software.

Open Source Alternatives is a good place to start, but ther are others:

The linux Alternative Project

http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_...indows_software

even ubuntu has it's own page

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareEquivalents

You'll soon find out that this counterparts lack several features, so you may want to try Wine, wich is an "Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix." check their database to see wich programs, versions are supported and at what degree of sucess.

And remember, open source doesn't mean it's free ;)

As for ReiserFS

theres this http://p-nand-q.com/e/reiserfs.html but it's read only.

this: http://yareg.akucom.de/index.html is an implementation of the above with some aditional features and GUI.

this: http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/ext2fsreiser.html also read only and needs total commander.

basicly you're only abble to read form ReiserFS in Windows.

So I'm with markjensen on you be better of with ext3, it's not as fancy as ReiserFS but it has better support in windows. (read and Write)

Best of luck with your linux adventures! :D

With the term co-workers and this statement --> "since i don't own the machine and it is for all"

I assume this is a place of work? I am happy for you that you want to switch or try using linux. But a place of business on equipment that is not yours, is not the place to be playing with it!

Since its seems they will need access to files your going to store on the linux partitions? Unless the BOSS ok's the move to linux, and that everyone is willing to use it. I would suggest you use linux on your own hardware.

But to the guestion directly - as already stated RieserFS would not be windows friendly choice for your linux filesystem, ext3 would be the better option.

wow, that's a lot of answer. thank you very much. and as of now, i already configured the linux box to use reiser on the / partition and ext3 for the /home. :)

looks more like an hardware failure you are talking because I've rebooted countless time my linux on reiserfs and never failed. I even move my partition from a 80gb to a 250gb without any problem.

The only reason this linux is down right now is a kernel crash because I made some error with udev and kernel compile, so a user error. Reiserfs is stable as much as ext3 even more. You have to see if you want the performance of ext3 or reiserfs depending on kind of file, usage and size.

    • They're too big to fail at this point. Even if Microsoft shutters entire divisions tomorrow, they'll be in the green for a long time because of how entrenched they are in the enterprise sector. Just look at politics. The people in charge are often some of the dumbest specimens humanity has ever produced. And yet, countries aren't crashing and burning every other day.
    • Exchange Online receiving one of its "most requested" features next month by Usama Jawad While most people are familiar with Outlook as their email client, especially within organizations deeply entrenched in the Microsoft stack, it is actually Exchange which powers the backend for this platform. What this means is that any enhancement to Exchange also gets flown downstream to Outlook. As such, Outlook users and IT admins will be pleased to know that Exchange Online is getting one of its "most requested" enhancements. Essentially, Message Recall will soon start working in cross-tenant environments. Previously, it only worked within a single tenant, which meant that if you wanted to recall an email accidentally sent to an external user, you were out of luck. Customers told Microsoft that they disliked this gap, especially when the two organizations emailing each other had trust between them. As such, Microsoft has decided to implement the Message Recall experience cross-tenant as well. Since the basis of this functionality is trust, IT admins will need to add each other in an allow list to enable this capability. Control rests with the recipient, so if Company A wants to recall a message sent to Company B, it is necessary that the latter adds Company A to the designated allow list. If they do not add the company to the allow list, recall attempts will fail with an appropriate error message. This feature is disabled by default, so IT admins will need to add at least one external tenant to their allow list first. The following Exchange Online PowerShell command will toggle cross-tenant Message Recall: Set-CrossTenantRecallConfiguration -CrossTenantRecallEnabled [$true | $false] And the cmdlet below will allow you to manage your allow list: Set-CrossTenantRecallConfiguration -AllowedSenderTenantIds @{Add="tenantId 1","tenantId 2"}; {Remove="tenantId 1","tenantId 2"} Cross-tenant recall works exactly as it does in intra-tenant environments. It is especially useful when communicating with trusted partners, subsidiaries, contractors, and more. Microsoft will begin rolling it out to worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD and Microsoft 365 environments operated by 21Vianet from mid-August, with completion planned for mid-September.
    • Now that is just desperate LMAO. Throwing a tantrum just because you lost the AI race. Better focus on innovating than trying to stop competition from blazing past you.
    • MS will replace open AI with their own models soon enough.
    • Funny how that works, yet seems so hard for these companies.
