Looking to have a common disk for my Linux / Windows dual boot pc. with BTRFS the way to go?
I'm running EndeavourOS and Windows 11. Each OS is on a separate disk, but I have a data disk that is currently NTFS that mount in both OSes. NTFS causes problems for some things in Linux, and I'm worried it'll bork the drive for windows eventually, so I'm keen to find an alternative. I've read about the WinBTRFS driver so wondering if that is a better way to go?
I don't want to run a server with a share to access this data because it is way to slow for my needs.
You're viewing a single thread.
DO NOT use WinBTRFS. It caused me some cryptic filesystem errors that I never found a real solution to. NTFS is the better option if you must have a shared disk, but I really suggest different partitions for each OS.
They're definitely not suggesting having both OSes in the same partition (even though that is technically possible using winbtrfs, it is objectively an insane thing to do).
I understood that just fine
Lol ok, then I guess I didn't understand what the alternative would be when you suggested putting the OSes on different partitions.
