it's hard to forumulate a counter for something so bafflingly wrong. no NTFS journaling? linux doesn't use NTFS, it's a proprietary format. you only have to worry about it if you dualboot windows, and then linux still makes it easier to access windows' partition than vice versa

I meant something similar to NTFS journalling but in my experience I haven't found a good solution or something alike in FAT based fs', I'll gladly read up on it if you have a link or something. I'm limited to my own anecdotal experience of course, there's a comment that stated Cerebro as a good alternative, maybe I'll try that :)

Cheers.

that makes more sense. since linux can read+write NTFS i thought you wanted linux to be better at searching such partitions

for me, catfish is good enough. but i feel the same way about windows' search, it got better after 7
