Will shared hdd for windows 10 and linux work?
Hello.
I plan to switch to linux.
I have a windows 10 ssd drive and a terabyte hdd for files.
I want to buy 1 more hdd and install linux on it.
Will the ssd disk with win 10 and hdd with files from linux be available / visible, and vice versa, will the disk with linux be available when using windows 10?
It turns out that I have windows 10 on sdd, linux on one hdd, and I want the third hdd to be kind of common. Shared file storage for two operating systems.

Yes, support for the ntfs file system in Linux is complete.
as an option, you can put the ext file system driver in windows.
If you score on the rights in one of the OS - will be. There will be no linux rights in NTFS. In ext{2|3|4} - there will be no windows rights. If there is FAT32 - everything is all the same there, there will be no rights, but it will work :)
- It will work BUT there will be problems, I didn’t cut down the Windows correctly and the disk will not be seen either it will be read-only or it will be seen but it will not be possible to mount it. To fix it, you will have to properly turn off Windows and periodically check the fs for errors
- Although ntfs is supported, there will certainly be problems where you do not expect them. It is better to look towards exfat.
- For flash drives/removable screws it's better to use exfat or even better udf Warnings
:
- Be very careful with case names and their support in a particular OS and FS.
- be very careful with the rights of files / directories in each OS and FS.
- be extremely careful with sim/hard links and generally better to forget about them.
In short, you need to think hard about which FS is better to use on a shared disk, there are many options and they all have their drawbacks. ntfs\udf\exfat\ext4\btrfs.
