[Samba] Samba in a dual boot environment
When configuring Samba in a dual boot Windows/Linux environment, should it have a dedicated partition? If so what filesystem should the partition be formatted with?

Now when you boot into Windows, you may be able to connect to the Linux partition, just not by using SMB and the same when you boot into Linux, you may be able to connect to the Windows partition, just not by SMB. I think you need to explain just what you are trying to do. Rowland
