hibernation sickness

Things will get seriously fracked up when two differnet operating systems try and access the same HDD partition at the same time.

How can this happen?

I found out.

  1. Run some programs in windows xp.

  2. Tell XP to hibernate

  3. Boot into linux

  4. access FAT filesystem, say to copy some music over to the d:\music directory.

  5. reboot to windows.

  6. Wait til it hits the fan.
