In recent kernels there is also direct writable support (stable, not experimental support) for NTFS without having to use NTFS-3G/FUSE. Should work with the Vista NTFS version too. |

plugdev/etc. for mounting still apply though. I've used it a couple times. Personally, I'd rather have direct kernel support than FUSE support. |

I thought I had cracked my problem of writing to a usb external ntfs HD, but I |
23 |
was wrong. Let me pose the problem and hopefully somebody out there will be |
24 |
able to set me straight. |
25 |
I have mp3 files on an internal HD in my gentoo box. I back this up to an |
26 |
external usb HD formated for ext2 - no problems. |
27 |
I have now bought another external HD which I want to copy my mp3's to and be |
28 |
able to play them when the external HD is plugged into a vista machine. |
29 |
So the HD is formated with ntfs and works with vista but when I plug it into |
30 |
gentoo and mount either automatically or manually I can not write to the |
31 |
disk. I just get an error message as a user -- "Unable to enter |
32 |
file:///mnt/external. You do not have access rights to this location." |
33 |
As root the permissions seem to be correct user=root,Group=root,Owner Can View |
34 |
& Modify Content but if I try as user to create a folder I get "Could not |
35 |
make folder /mnt/external/New Folder." message. |
36 |
|
37 |
So the question is:- How do I get an external usb disk to be writable on |
38 |
gentoo and vista? |
39 |

Thanks for any help |
