editing ntfs drives remotely with windows?

[rudeboymcc]

HI. I've got a linux machine with an NTFS drive in it. I know linux can write to it with a few tweaks but it's not 100% stable. I was wondering, if i look at *** hard disk remotely through a windows machine, would it be just as stable as if windwos were writni gto *** disk? or is all *** disk writing still going through linux?

no, the host machine does all the disc work - so in your case it would be linux and thus unstable.

You mean if you share the disk via SMB/CIFS and use smbclient/mount.cifs on a linux machine to access it? - Yes, thats the best solution if you have a Linux machine and a Windows machine on a network.

TBH, I've copied/changed/deleted/created several TB of data using the ntfs-3g driver on Linux and never had a single problem, either in Linux or accessing the filesystem later on Windows.

Exactly the same here.
