Re: [LUG] NTFS permision problems

[kevin bailey <kevin_bailey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there

According to the man page it looks like the partition should be writable 
ok - but - checking www.deja.com shows that NTFS support is still 
experimental - apparently MS won't release specs.  Many postings at deja 
were saying the same thing.  They suggest using FAT.

Just a quick point - if you're using windows 2000 or XP i think they 
changed the design of NTFS.
