I recentry compiled the 2.6.1 kernel with experimental write support for ntfs. I couldn't write on ntfs. Now I compiled 2.6.8.1 kernel with full write support on ntfs, but still can't write on it. Where am I donig something wrong, or, what's wrong and how can I fix it? How can I write on ntfs? Thanks in advance. Alex.

Even if you activate the write mode for NTFS in your kernel, you CAN'T and SHOULD NOT write to your NTFS partition unless you want a damage NTFS partition... If you want to share (read/write) between Windows and Linux, use FAT32 (or VFAT). So, if you keep insisting to write to your NTFS partition, good luck because you will need it!!! taurus

You have to make sure that the partition is not mounted as read-only. A taurus says NTFS write support is pretty bad under GNU/Linux, the later 2.6 kernels support it better than before but you can only write to a file if yuou don't change the file size by more than about 1k! For better and safer NTFS write support use captive: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
