You will not get write support, only overwrite support (it is not possible to delete, create or modify the filesize). Real write support is not availlable from kernel NTFS. Only captive-ntfs and some commercial tools allow NTFS write.
This is the information I got from previous threads on this topic.
binumvk:
Sorry, there was some missunderstanding. I thought you were talking about something you intended to do that was already done. I understood "ntfs support is there and I want to recompile the kernel to get ntfs support", just a semantic problem
BTW: the 'default' is different in various distros. In SuSE NTFS is compiled per default. However, write support is always turned off (per default).
And just for curiosity: did you ever try to write files on NTFS partitions? Are we talking about NTFS in kernel 2.6?
i'm a beginner in linux.so please help me.i'm usin fedora core 1.i cannot write 2 my vfat partitions as a user,but can write as root?what should i do to get r/w access.how fstab should b edited?
ok, when i first installed linux i had write permission to my windows ntfs drive but i had to take the windows drive out (forgot why) but i turned it on without that drive in and it did an auto config thing at the startup and everything got screwed up. i put the drive back in and had to go edit fstab so it would auto mount the drive again but now i cannot get write permission
