MS does not like to play well with other OS's regarding their filesystems and since they don't readily publish information about API's for NTFS, you are taking your chances trying to write to an NTFS filesystem from Linux. Most people setup a much smaller shared partition using FAT32 and either work mostly in Windows, occasionally in Linux or mostly in Linux and occasionally in Windows. Doing that usually means that it is not necessary to have such a large shared partition. You might consider picking one or the other and partitioning accordingly. -- Bryan Phinney
