XP kills linux-created files & directories
Posted: Tue 21 Nov 2006, 16:09
OK, I must be doing something wrong here ...
I have a laptop set up to triple-boot XP, Puppy (now up to 2.12, frugal install) and Ubuntu. XP is on an NTFS partition, the Puppy files are on a FAT32 partition, and there's an ext3 and a swap partition for Ubuntu.
I boot into Puppy and create a folder and files on the FAT32, which is at \initrd\mnt\dev_save. If I reboot into Puppy, all is well. If I boot into Ubuntu and mount the FAT32, the directory and files are there. If I boot into XP, however, I cannot see the directory or files, and when I go back into Puppy or Ubuntu, now they are missing there as well. Same thing happens if the files are created in Ubuntu instead of Puppy.
What's going on?!

Beats me. I'd suggest sticking the Puppy files in the ext partition until you sort it out.
