10.3: Mount and use NTFS disks natively
Authored by: perdedor on Nov 05, '03 12:01:42PM

yes it is readonly, however there might be a way to enable writes using some terminal and automountd slickness (i only glanced through things, this is not something i expect to ever use personally)

i also noted i couldn't reformat my usb pendrive from ntfs back to ntfs in panther's diskutility. i had to get info to identify which disk it was, and then sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk2 to wipe the whole disk, then unplug/replug again before i could reformat as hfs+

Don't make it read/write. You will corrupt your drive. NTFS writing, outside of Windows OS's, is completely unstable.

Oh and NTFS from XP is different than NTFS from Win2k or WinNT.
