Can't See all the files in the share!
Are the file permissions the same? Don't make any assumptions about the account in use at the time the file is read.

WARNING - Western Digital Hard Drive Installer.....

Whats the best win98/linux dual boot partition setup?
(I have a large HD) I primarily use my computer for gaming but want NTFS because of file permissions. On a large HD no, on small volumes some have I know that XP has native support for dual booting ... but I'm wondering what advantages (if any) exist in using a utility such as Partition Magic 7 to dualboot.

Which Linux to learn Unix?
Use NTFS file system rather than FAT - NTFS supports file permissions and security settings whereas FAT does not. Make yourself an administrator; make them user(s). You will have to play around with permissions, denying them access to all files/directories except their home directory. I don't know if quotas exist

File permissions mounting DOS/Win partitions
Is ext3 kind of like NTFS "V2" (ie supports more in the way of file permissions, security, maybe even file and folder encryption?) Not knowing the difference, I chose to take the safe route.

Home Network Backup Solutions - Thoughts?
There really isn't any reason to create new NTFS partitions on home computers anyway, I don't know why people do it, FAT32 is faster and the the only reason to use NTFS is that it allows secure file permissions to be set up in a networking environment. Running different operating systems side by side can be

Network problem
I'm curious to know why file permissions do not work correctly from Windows 2k and XP clients. Is this characteristic of this particular version of FreeBSD?

W2K or XP or XP Pro
NTFS is necessary if you want to set file permissions, I only implement it on Laptops and Servers, sometimes on a desktop if the circumstances warrant it.

NTFS or FAT32
Do you have a dual boot system? If so, I used the exact same method you describe to transfer files between the two, but it eventually became a nuisance. (The file permissions get lost, but that is easily fixed.) This may not apply to your case, but it was such a massive time saver I just thought I would share
