wiki.linux-ntfs.org.nyud.net — This site details ways to achieve native NTFS write support on your Linux box using the ntfsmount tool and the ntfs-fuse user-space filesystem driver. These tools have yielded very promising success rates in writing to NTFS volumes with 0% corruption. Packages are available for most distros including Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat and Arch.

Hopefully it's added into the next version of Knoppix. They took out the NTFS write tools in some of the more recent versions. Raping it's functionality.

I also dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I've got about 10gb for Ubuntu, a little more for windows, and then a third partition for music, videos, general storage. The third partition is NTFS, but I think I'd rather back up the partition, wipe it, and go with a FAT32 for the storage partition rather than trying to beat write support for NTFS into Ubuntu.But then again I'm lazy :)

Oh man, this is f**king great. I've tried Captive before, and it was extremely slow, and writing to the volume failed miserably. I thought "What the hell" and tried this. Perfect! I even remounted the volume to see if it actually did anything (Captive appeared to have written something, but it was just a bunch of dirty lies), and sure enough, the newly written files were there. Awesome!

"reiserfs ftw."Reiser has to be the best. The more I try and figure out how it works, the more I end up with a dumbfounded look on my face.Anything that confusing has to be the best, and if it's not good luck explaining why.

You can read and write ext2 (not sure about 3) in Windows using this utility<a class="user" href="http://www.fs-driver.org/">http://www.fs-driver.org/</a>I've used it quite a lot and haven't had a problem at all.

"show me a grandma who can install jfs/ext/ufs support on windows then"Can she download a file, and can she double-click it?If the answer to both is "yes", then - here you go: <a class="user" href="http://www.fs-driver.org/">http://www.fs-driver.org/</a>Ok, so that only covers ext2/3, but this was only about NTFS too.

I want NTFS write support in Linux because of an external 500GB hard disk that I want to use in a mixed environment. I use Linux myself, but I make backups regularly of Windows computers too, even using Windows PE. I can format the drive as ext3 and get ext3 drivers for Windows XP but I cannot easily get ext3 support in Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment)
