smbfs : mounting ntfs & write on it

is't possible to mount ntfs partition using smbfs & write on it?

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o guest //$WINXP_HOSTNAME/Data1 /mnt/drive_D

Should work fine since all the packets of data get translated from linux to tcp/ip packets and then translated from that to NTFS compatible files by windows. I think the trick is in the permissions. I forget how Samba's permission systems work, but on a normal filesystem, you'd pass the option umask=0000 for rwx access.

pljvaldez,

thanks. I'll try the umask=000 thing.
