Re: mounting ntfs partitions?
mount your partition as mount -t ntfs-3g device mount point -rw if you want automount add a line to /etc/fstab as device mount point ntfs-3g rw,user,auto 0 0 Users are generally not given mount with rw permissions for security reasons.

mounting ntfs partitions?
Hi all, how can I get read-write access as a normal user to a ntfs-partition? I trioed ntfsmount and pmount (with configured pmount.allow), but i found no way to get write-access as a normal user. What is the debian-way? Thanks for help. Hans
Re: mounting ntfs partitions?
Hans-J. Ullrich: how can I get read-write access as a normal user to a ntfs-partition? I trioed ntfsmount and pmount (with configured pmount.allow), but i found no way to get write-access as a normal user. The ntfs module in the kernel offers only very limited write access. It is a feature constraint you have to live with. What is the debian-way? Use ntfs-3g. J. -- I often play sports / do exercise.

I know, that ntfs to set r-w is always dangerous, and as far as I know, the kerne-module sets the ntfs-partition to read-only.

RE: mounting ntfs partitions?
Not sure if your problem is resolved or not but I had a similar issue a while back and I was able to resolve like this: http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/02/24/howto-mount-windows-ntfs-partition-as-read-write-in-debian-linux/ I think somebody already mentioned ntfs-3g.
