Laurent, Thank you for your response. The ntfs partition was automatically mounted during the installation process. I didn't use ntfs-3g. Is the ntfs kernel capable of making ntfs partitions writeable?
Szabolcs, Thank you for your response. If by "the document" you mean the windows partition help page referenced in my post above, according to that document it is not clear whether one must install ntfs-3g for 7.04: "Ubuntu 7.04 can read and write files on the NTFS drives commonly used by Windows. Note: Not all users are finding this to be the case: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418260 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418048 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417784 It may be necessary to install ntfs-config as described below: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 6.10 came with older, beta versions of the NTFS 3G driver. These worked well for many users but were not guaranteed to be stable. Use Ubuntu 7.04 for stable access to NTFS partitions." There are several forum posts that indicate users believe ntfs-config /ntfs-3g is not necessary. I added the "note" to the document stating that according to the forums some users have had to add ntfs-config in order to have write permissions to ntfs drives. Some more clarity from the developers on this "feature" would be very helpful. -- NTFS partition read only (no write) on Feisty clean install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
