[wplug] writing on a ntfs partition

[Dileep Vangasseri]

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help. In fact, there is
no problem for me to mount the ntfs partition and to
copy the files from there. But I can not write
anything there. It shows the error message that it is
a read only file system.

The relevent portion of my fstab reads like this:
 
/dev/hda2   /media/windows   ntfs 
rw,noauto,users,gid=users,uid=dileep,umask=0002  0 0

I hope my querry is more clear now.

With best regards,

Dileep
