just enable this in the kernel configuration file (/usr/src/linux/.config):
| Code: | CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
# CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y
|
you can't WRITE on a NTFS Partition. i can just change files and the size of the file can't be changed... |

CONFIG_NTFS_FS:

Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but
safe, write support available. For write support you must also
say Y to "NTFS write support" below.

CONFIG_NTFS_RW:
This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.
The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or
renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to
so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
be written to.[...] |
read more @ kernel-config (e.g. menu makeconfig)
File Systems --->DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems

lol.... fast |
