those are two completly different filesystems, no, that won't be possible.
but you can use captive (google captive ntfs) to read and write to a ntfs filesystem. |

To clarify:
Reiser4 is completely "compatible" (Its a different filesystem!) with NTFS.
You can have a NTFS partition, and beside it a Reiser4 partition, and they will both be fine... |

I recently re-installed my gentoo system with reiser4. All seemed good at first, but enemy territory hiccups whenever messages appear, or objectives are completed. I will be trying reiserfs (3) on friday to see whether reiser4 was the culprit. I have a feeling that it IS reiser4

I've been using Reiser4 for a week now and I'm happy with it. At first I was having horrible slowdowns, but then I found out it was a mm-sources bug, switching to ck-sources everything is fine. I don't even think that was reiser4 related. Untarring kernel sources to a directory is really fast and emerge rsyncs are blazing fast. I came from using an ext3 install from the last 2 years. This is a fast filesystem, the benchmarks don't lie!

| I'm having lockups when I run the nightly SpamAssassin scan on my maildir for new items to add to the bayesian filter stuff. Thats about it though. |

Alright, I tried going to reiserfs (3) and it didn't help the problem. I did manage to get it solved though, I think it was a mix of fixing the mtrr used by the fglrx driver and lowering agp aperture.

Well since you can't use NTFS on linux I fail to see how that's relevant  But yeah, it's lightning-quick. I can't wait to see the gentoo devs fully support this in the near future! |
