When installing dual boot with FAT /FAT32 on the Windows partition, it
is safe to boot to linux, mount the windows partition (as vfat) , than
create files on the Windows partition, delete files on the linux
partition, etc.

Is it also safe to do this when the windows partition is NTFS ?
I remeber that in the past it was unsafe to do it , and it was
recommended to mount the NTFS as read only. But time passed since
last time I invesitgated this topic.
Does anybody has an experience with mounting windows NTFS parition from linux
and writing/updating/deleting files there?

Regards,
John
