    Hi,

    I'm new to cryptonote technology. I use a dual boot computer, so with some bitcoin type wallets I install the blockchain/wallet on an NTFS partition so I can share them between O/S.
    With monero, this seems to cause a few issues. Firstly, the monero daemon on first start up throws up a warning which either seems windows or linux based, possibly due to the p2pstate.bin poolstate.bin files. Restarting in the same O/S and the issue disappears. Secondly, it would seem that the wallet files are incompatible, throwing up a memory allocation error while trying to open the wallet.
    I've decided to use separate blockchain daemons on each O/S, but would like to find a way to share the wallet. Would it be possible to have one wallet files in windows, and set up a duplicate wallet file in linux using the following: https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/user-guides/restore_account ?

    For issue one, could you run the daemon with the following flag:

    Code:
    --log-level 2

    On Linux this should be done from the terminal. Thus, cd to the relevant directory or open the terminal from the directory itself and then:

    Code:
    ./monerod --log-level 2

    On Windows you should launch from the command prompt (in the relevant directory)

    Code:
    monerod.exe --log-level 2

    The blockchain (and the full bitmonero directory for that matter) should be compatible accross different operating systems.

    For issue two, the wallet cache is incompatible, whereas the .keys file is compatible. Thus, you'd have to remove the wallet cache on either of your systems. Note that there are three wallet files, <wallet> (this is the wallet cache), <wallet>.keys, and <wallet>.address.txt (contains your public address). In addition, note that your wallet cache contains private tx keys and recipient addresses for outgoing transfers. Thus, it may be detrimental to remove it. It's generally advised to backup the old, incompatible cache and then remove it.

    Privacy matters, use Monero - A true untraceable cryptocurrency
