Linux to Windows

[Tim Conway]

In case cygwin was doing some filename mapping, I tried it in cmd:

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1>cd t

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 5CC0-9DEE

 Directory of C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t

08/24/2005  08:54 AM    <DIR>          .
08/24/2005  08:54 AM    <DIR>          ..
               0 File(s)              0 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  28,321,488,896 bytes free

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>edit .dotfile

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>del .dotfile

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\t>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.

               0 File(s)              0 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  28,321,488,896 bytes free

 I'm sure, too.  Apparently, you can't start a filename with a period in 
Win, either, as my previous examples showed.

1120817285.22306_0.mail (works fine)
.1124450874.30945_0.mail (reports 0KB)
.1123700716.P14142Q0M23.mail (reports 0KB)
.1087907444.7006_1.mail.domain.com,U=1,W=42566 (reports 0KB)

Is it possible for Cygwin to emulate an ext2 or ext3 partition on the NTFS 

drive?  The other idea I had was to have a dual-bootsystem and actually 
back 
up when booted in Linux, but obviously this seriously complicates the 
automation process.> Yep. I'm sure.
