It is indeed. Do I deduce from this that it isn't wise to change it to
ReadWrite?
Definitely not wise to change from ro. NTFS is not your typical
filesystem, and it's only been recently that Linux has been able to
write to NTFS with any measure of reliability. If you were to change
the ro to rw, and then managed to write something to the NTFS
partition, you more than likely wouldn't have a readable NTFS
partition anymore.
There is the NTFS-3G project http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ that have a
stable way to write to NTFS. I've never been brave enough to try it
on any NTFS partitions, so I cannot vouch for how good this driver
really is... maybe someone here has played with it though, and can
comment on it.
I believe that the NTFS-3G driver is in the Packman repositories... I
think I've seen it there...
