  • @linuxleech No luck. I've mapped a few network drives and doesn't recognize them. But it's not really a big deal since I can still use Linux reader to copy the files to a shared Windows folder. Anyways, thanks for the tips. I hope your channel picks up.

  • @You0wnAStore Thanks a lot YouOwnAStore

  • @linuxleech I normally use Samba servers for that sort of thing. I dual boot Windows and Linux on my main machine and have important files scattered over both HDs. I was just wondering if this app was usable over the network when Windows is the currently active OS. I guess I'll just try it out for myself in the next few days.

  • @You0wnAStore Ok, let me know how it goes it would be interesting to find out what happens.

  • @linuxleech I guess a better idea would be to create a small ext3 or ext4 partition for sharing purposes. Does the program work over the network or only on local drives?

  • @You0wnAStore I believe it only works on drives that are logically visible on the windows machine you have it installed on. If you do have your OpenSUSE machine on your network you could always setup SCP or FTP to grab files.

see all

  • You could try accessing your btrfs filesystem using a linux virtual machine. It is a bit of a work around but it could be useful in a pinch.

  • Too bad. I just installed OpenSUSE 12.1 with btrfs. But good tip anyway, I'll give it a try later.

  • Thanks.
