Exactly. The Linux file system will have Windows mounted into it but I think Windows won't be able to see the Linux filesystem. We will see.

- sspiff 11y agoLinux and Windows can both see each others filesystem, but they are visible at specific mount points in each environment. You can't just use /home/chx/todo.txt as a path from any Windows application, but you can find that file through some other path.
- chx 11y agoVery interesting. What about case sensitivity?
- SEMW 11y agoThe underlying filesystem (NTFS) is case-sensitive, so I think it should basically work fine. Sure, Windows tools are case-insensitive, so if you use bash to create foo and Foo in the same directory you'll probably only be able to access one of them from Windows Explorer, but I doubt that's much of a problem for most people
- RobMurray 11y agoIt does seam to be case sensitive! Creating two files called a and A works. They even show up in explorer. It doesn't work to delete one of them from explorer though. No errors - they just reappear. After trying, I now have a file called a that I can't delete from bash or explorer!
