Hi
Is there any mean to mount in w mode a ntfs
partition
under linux? Actually, my system refuses to do
so,
partition is mounted only in read mode (when i
didn't
have this probleme with fat partitions) Thank you
in
advance for answer
cheers

Actually without some more information on what
system, or especially
kernel you are using, it is impossible to answer
this question without
guessing.
But yes /in general/ it is possible.
Under 2.4.26 write support is still experimental and
therefor I wouldn't
use it, unless you are really sure of what you are
doing.
Under 2.6.6 r/w support for ntfs partitions
shouldn't be a real problem.
Just enable it in your config.
