Share partition between OSes on a dual booting machine
by pm_a_cup_of_tea from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6Q86Q)
Hi, I have a laptop that I plan to dual boot Debian and Slackware. I will partition with LVM and disk encryption.
I would like to have a shared partition that both OSes can access, this too will be encrypted. Ideally I want them to be mounted on each /home/$USER/Files/ directories (the $USER will be the same and have have the same UID on each OS). Here will be stored {Documents,Pictures, et al} and configured using user-dirs-dirs.
...because of this I guess that it will need to be mounted at boot and because it will be encrypted it will need to be unencrypted when mounted.
Is this possible?
Because the partition will be owned by the user and not root what would be the best the way to execute this.
Any sign posting is appreciated, thanks.
