Given there's now native NTFS support in the Linux kernel, you could also do that that the other way around.

- flatiron 4y agoI guess that paragon driver got merged. I remember the pull request…
- josephcsible 4y agoI wonder which direction causes more breakage for the non-native OS.
- jwrallie 4y agoI think getting around permissions would be an issue but when I was starting on Linux I remember there was a way to install to Fat32 inside a directory in parallel with Windows 95. The distro was called Phat, so the concept is not exactly new.
- watmough 4y agoYep, just posted about this. Late 90's right? I think it was Ygdrassil, or maybe a free distro off of a CD. Great investment of time as it got me into the oilfield doing tech support. Running Rocky 8 on a P1 Gen4 now, so come a long way from my 486/Dx2.
- sebazzz 4y agoI suppose you could store the chmod and group/owner in an NTFS alternative data stream, or reserve a special file on the file system that acts like the MFT.
- alexvoda 4y agoIndeed: https://gist.github.com/motorailgun/cc2c573f253d0893f429a165b5f851ee https://gist.github.com/motorailgun/cc2c573f253d0893f429a165... Of course you can also do a cursed setup with 2 partitions: windows on Btrfs and Linux on NTFS just to maximize the chaotic nonsense.
