Re: [expert] make NTFS visible and writable by users
Add the umask option. umask modifies the virtual (ntfs does not support
UNIX style permissions) permission bits in inverse octal form. eg: Where
read+execute would be 5 in chmod, in umask it is 2 (7-5). The first number
specifies the owning user's permissions, the second, owning group, the
third, everyone else.

Re: [expert] make NTFS visible and writable by users
To answer several questions, the NTFS read problem only applies when the disk is attached to the system as a normal disk (i.e. via IDE, SCSI (and may be even a SAN)) and not over the network. Think of it this way, when you export a filesystem via samba do the clients care that the underlying filesystem is ext2, ext3, reiser, XFS, FAT, etc.? No, because samba hides all that; the client makes smb filesystem calls. It is the same when a Linux system mounts a samba or NFS drive, it makes smb or NFS filesystem calls and nevers knows about the underlying filesystem on the server.

RE: [expert] make NTFS visible and writable by users
Does this apply to smbmount to a shared NT4 machine ? I'm using LM8.1 I've been Tar'in files to it but am not sure if its ntfs or Fat, but i'm now gonna ask. > NO! > > Do NOT mount it rw. ntfs support in Linux is only read capable.

Re: [expert] make NTFS visible and writable by users
I was under the belief that NTFS was writable under linux, and that it
simply required a scandisk under windows, not that it actually did any
real damage.
Still.. writing isn't as important as it being readable to users.. how
do I do that?

am guessing changing 'ro' to 'rw' does makes them writable.. but will

NO!
Do NOT mount it rw. ntfs support in linux is only read capable. If you
attempt to write to it, you will damage your ntfs filesystem so badly
that it cannot be recovered. Do *NOT* mount it rw. If you want to
share data between win and lin, you need to use a fat32 partition.

Re: [expert] make NTFS visible and writable by users
Todd, Question on this one ... In Samba if I share there, do I run into the same limitations. In other words if I samba mount a directory that is shared via a lose2k or or any other ntfs do I have the same rw restrictions or am I ok in this case?

Do NOT mount it rw. ntfs support in linux is only read capable. If you attempt to write to it, you will damage your ntfs filesystem so badly that it cannot be recovered. Do *NOT* mount it rw.
