[wplug] Mounting NTFS

[Patrick Wagstrom]

Brad,

NTFS read support under Linux is just fine.  Even write support is fine
most of the time (but it's that last .001% of the time that's the
killer).  I've got a laptop that I keep the XP partition around on
(don't ask me why, I haven't used it for anything other than games) and
I just put all my music there.  Works pretty well.  Here is the line I
have from my /etc/fstab for that:

/dev/hda1       /mnt/c          ntfs    ro,uid=1000     0       0

The uid=1000 is done so it shows that I'm the owner; my account is uid
1000.
