[gentoo-user] Can't mount NTFS read-write

[Stroller]

Hi guys,

It's kinda late by my erratic bodyclock, so I'm assuming I'm doing  
something stupid.  Can anyone slap me with a kipper, please?

(Or should I be using the fuse NTFS driver?)

Stroller.


$ ls -ld /mnt/foo/
drwxrwx--- 2 root users 48 Aug  1  2007 /mnt/foo/
$ sudo mount -v /dev/sda2 /mnt/foo/ -o uid=stroller,umask=0000,rw
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sda2
        I will try type ntfs
/dev/sda2 on /mnt/foo type ntfs (rw,uid=1000,umask=0000)
$ touch /mnt/foo/foo
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/foo/foo': Read-only file system
$ sudo !!
sudo touch /mnt/foo/foo
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/foo/foo': Read-only file system
$ ls -ld /mnt/foo/
dr-xr-xr-x 1 stroller root 12288 Mar 11 19:09 /mnt/foo/
$ ls -l /mnt/foo/ | head -n 5
