Re: [gentoo-user] ntfs mounted partition

A long time ago I used Captive NTFS to do this.  It's not maintained now, but 
I think it should still work with recent kernel versions afaik.  You can find 
it at http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/.

 Hello,

 I am mounting one of my ntfs partition from linux. The problem is though
 that it is mounted readonly.

 Is there some option i need to pass to fstab to make it write-able too?

Read/write support for ntfs is only partially implemented and is a
separate kernel option. 

See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt for details.

Writing to NTFS partitions is not recommended - what writing that is
supported is very limited.

Only over writing files and to exactly the same size iirc.

If you need to share data between Win and Lin, a FAT32 partition (or
network drive) is probably your best bet.
