Hi all!

I cannot move/remove anything from my windows partition (I use FC4 KDE). Here are the permissions:

[root@]# ls -l
total 40
drwxrwxrwx 1 root 501 8192 Nov 23 02:20 wind

I have ALL permissions on. And still if as root I try to create a directory the error message is: operation not supported.

This is the fstab if this is any help but I get the feeling it is not related to permissions. The partition is ntfs:

LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=]"Rg}�� swap swap defaults 0 0
LABEL= swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /media/winc ntfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /media/wind ntfs rw,users,noauto,umask=000,gid=users,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Did you recompile your kernel with the *experimental* NTFS
write-support? If the answer is no no permissions or fstab entries
will grant you the ability.

No I didnt recompile the kernel. But I installed the rpm from her e http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/129/65/
.... isnt that the same thing?

those are just the userland utilities. You also need the support in the kernel.

Ok .. is there a walkthrough here on how to recompile kerner safely!
