write to NTFS

[Toriku]

Anyone know how to get linux to write to a HDD with a NTFS filesystem? I'm sure I saw a Linux box writing to NTFS before, it was running Samba, and Apache... OS was on its own flash memory, with a hard disk in NTFS for mass storage...

Install then run ntfs-config. Tick on the boxes 'enable read' , 'enable write'.

If you mounted the ntfs partition though Nautilus Linux writes to ntfs by default and has since Hardy.

Are you having it automount through fstab? If you are post the output of the following command:

cat /etc/fstab

If you want it to please post the output of this command:

sudo blkid -c /dev/null

That's an entirely different question. Are you talking about writing to a samba share of an ntfs partition located on a Linux box or accessing an ntfs partition on a Windows box.

I guess this boils down to I don't understand the nature of the problem since I don't know where this ntfs partition is located and how you are trying to write to it..
