Write on NTFS?Forum: Other Help Topics Topic: Write on NTFS? started by: kdas Posted by kdas on May 10 2006,19:20
Hey there,sorry for being such a noob, but I tried out for two hours and couldnt find out: is there any possibility to write on an NTFS file system with the current DFS version? And if there is one... please tell me how... I mounted it and I just always get the message mv: cannot create directory `/mnt/hdb1/Fotos': Read-only file system so how can i change the permission, or is there no possibility?? thx a lot!!!

Writing to NTFS isn't supported, because you risk destroying all data in the NTFS-partition. (Microsoft keeps the exact workings of NTFS a secret, so is has been difficult to make proper NTFS-write support for linux)Having said this, there is a CAPTIVE NTFS for linux, which copies the windows NTFS drivers from installed windows and uses those. Dont know if anyone has ported it to DSL yet? I have also heard, that the new KNOPPIX 5.0 supports writing to NTFS, so maybe the problem is finally solved? Linux ext2 and ext3 filesystems are now R/W accessible from windows < http://www.fs-driver.org/ > Posted by torp on May 12 2006,03:55

Someone built a "captive ntfs" extension for MyDSL but they never published it to the official repository so I don't know where you can get it nowadays.
