How to share data in between the linux distros and windows OS?

Whenever you install multi operating system on your machine, the first problem after the correct installation of everything you face is "How to share the data in between of them?".

Note: During the installation of the multi operating system, you need to leave a partition to use for data sharing in between the multi OSs.

  1. Make that left partition, for data sharing, as FAT32.
  2. Windows will detect that partition automatically.
  3. For Linux Distros:
- Create /share directory and add the following line to /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda5 /share vfat user,rw,exec 0 0

Note: At the place of "sda5", use the partition name, as you created.

4. In Solaris:

- Create /share directory and add the following line to /etc/vfstab file:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0p4:c - /share pcfs - yes -

Note: This method for Linux distros & Solaris will automatically mount this partition at boot time.
