Read and write permissions on NTFS
« on: March 07, 2014, 01:19:09 pm »
Hi i have mounted my 500 gb hard disk with NTFS file system and having two partition  by doing the following

1. power off zentyal, connect your hd.
2. power on and from command line,
$sudo fdisk -l
$sudo blkid                (get the UUID's for the new partitions)
you should see your new hd listed.
3. mount the partitions to new file systems
$sudo mkdir /mountpoint1
$sudo mkdir /mountpoint2
4. edit /etc/fstab
UUID=<UUID1> /mountpoint1 ntfs defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000 0 0
UUID=<UUID2> /mountpoint2 ntfs defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000 0 0
5. mount
$sudo mount -a

The above has only read permission but not write permission, how should i give it a write permission.

It's expected behaviour of default NTFS configuration
