I am dual-booting Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04. My partition scheme looks like this:
/dev/sda1 - Windows 8 (nfts)
/dev/sda2 - Ubuntu / (ext4)
/dev/sda3 - Ubuntu home (ext4)
/dev/sda5 -
swap
/dev/sda6 - Shared data partition (exfat)
(First off, yes I do have exfat libraries installed on Ubuntu)
I created some PNG images in Windows and saved them on my shared partition. From Ubuntu, I edited the images in GIMP and saved them (replacing the ones on the shared partition).
When I boot into Windows, the files appear unchanged - exactly like they did before I edited them from Ubuntu. I even added a folder and deleted some other files, but none of these changes exist in Windows.
When I boot into Ubuntu, all of the changes are still there.
It is as if Windows is caching the old file structure...
How is this possible? Thanks in advance.
