I was glad of this informations as I have been trying to write to a NTFS

Linux cannot, at this stage, write (reliably, without the possibility of
corrupting the filesystem) to NTFS partitions. If you want a writeable
partition to share data use either FAT or FAT32.
   

Alternatively investigate the 'Captive' project.
