writing to ntfs partition


I have two harddrives sda with windows xp, and sdb with gentoo. From my kernel .config:
Quote:
grep -i ntfs /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y
and I have it mounted rw
Quote:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/b type ntfs (rw)
the problem is that I can edit files on disk ( and I verified they changed ) but I cannot create any files. I have lots of free space on the disk so that cannot be the problem.

Has anyone experienced not being able to create files?

you may get better answers posting in gentoo next time but it sounds like a permissions issue plus not sure if you know about ntfs-3g
