Title: Persistent GUID?
Post by: cephas on November 13, 2006, 05:18:38 am

Is there a way with the TJW backport for me to have the same GUID across Windows and Linux (for dual-booting, etc)?  It would really be awesome if I could get that to work!

because fat gets fragmented faster than you can ask why you would put windows on ntfs instead of fat.

You cannot unpack a DVD iso on a FAT32 disk : the file is often more than 2GiB which is the max size for a single file on FAT32.

Don't laugh, i caused me problems once already :o

Yeah, right. More than 4GiB. Fortunately for me, a full DVD is also bigger than 4GiB :D
