I have given you the default entry.

When i remount with -o rw then it shows rw.

That's what I was going to ask.  If the drives are formatted in NTFS then you cannot mount them in RW, only RO.  If they are in FAT then you can RW them.

Yup,

Its a Windows drive so NTFS.  :P

But why can't it write to a NTFS partition.  :-?

I presume you mean it's a Windows 2000 or XP drive.

NTFS support for Linux is just getting beyond the experimental stage.  Check out the >Linux-NTFS project< if read-write access is important to you.

To be precise Windows XP.

I just wanted to play around and whatever i do, store it somewhere.
That's all.

I didn't thought it would be so complex.
I am sure there should be an easy way out.

Well the way things usually go, once the Linux-NTFS code comes out of beta, moves will be afoot to get it integrated into the kernel.  So give it time.  In the meantime, you can try it out anyway.

By the way is this thing possible via other unix flavours like Solaris.

Its also available on x86 architecture but not bootable via a CD though.  8-)

I would go ahead - why not look for a Linux distro (e.g. >Ubuntu< that includes Linux-NTFS as a package?

Sorry - I missed your question before.  The answer to your question is fundamentally, yes.  The source code from the Linux-NTFS project may for example compile and run on Solaris.  Whether significant changes would be necessary to the code I don't know - you could ask the project authors.

In any event, there are always alternative solutions to this kind of problem.  Most server OSes "in the real world" should not be coexisting with other OSes as multi-boot systems.  You would normally build separate systems and then connect them via NFS, FTP, Samba, etc.

I thought other flavours on Unix must be using diff. file systems.
May be their interaction with NTFS might be inbuilt from starting or a bit earlier.
