CrunchBang Linux

Thanks for the replies, but that doesn't solve my problem. The partition could already be mounted and used by Linux and Windows, the point is that Linux can use it taking advantage of all NTFS features (long paths and filenames, duplication of names due to case sensitivity, etc.) which I wouldn't mind if Windows didn't get screwed up by it. For instance, you can create a file with a long name from Linux but that file becomes unusable in Windows because it lacks its short name, it can't be accessed unless the long name is shortened or a second 8.3 name is created.

Again, I don't know if it can be achieved, and I think that Linux general support for short names in NTFS was dropped long time ago, but I'm wondering if there's some way to force Crunchbang to mount and use NTFS partitions to the taste of Windows.

thx!
