Acemagic RX16 (AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX) : interoperability between Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows 11 in dual boot

Post by GRTN »

In previous POST “Acemagic RX16 (AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX) : dual boot Ubuntu 24.04 + Windows 11” allows to keep Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 separated , but I didn’t mention the fact that dual boot doesn’t compel complete separation .
I didn’t mention that after standard installation of Ubuntu 24.04 the free single volume initialized on 2 TB NVMe SSD was partitioned in 4 volumes : first tiny partition of 16 MB reserved to Microsoft , second partition of only 1 GB for UEFI , third partition of 385.1 GB for interoperability between Microsoft and Linux , fourth partition of 1.5 TB for Linux files system .
First two partitions are non-accessible by user , but the two major ones of 385.1 GB and 1.5 TB are both accessible in Ubuntu 24.04 .
The 1.5 TB partition is mounted as “/” , that means “root” of Linux file system . The 385.1 GB is mounted as if it were an external additional storage device with label “Ubuntu Volume” , it can be accessed on Ubuntu desktop under label “Other Locations” or by terminal on path “/media/<user id>/Ubuntu\ Volume/” .
“Ubuntu Volume” is accessible also on Windows 11 , where it is mounted as “D:” : so it can be used to share files among both operating systems .
But it is also available volume of 474.8 GB with all files created by user on “C:” of Windows 11 , on original SSD of 512 GB installed on Acemagic RX16 , in Ubuntu 24.04 as if it were an additional storage device : on Ubuntu terminal "C:" can be accessed as “/media/<user id>/<label>” .
Below all checks that can be done on Ubuntu 24.04 terminal :
