Out of interest more than anything, what's changed to make it fully possible now?
basically, someone worked out how to do it. it's taken about 12 years though
ntfs writing is now handled by a new project called "NTFS-3G" - see http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
does it work?
Code:
root@osc-bigmac:~# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda4 /media/Windows/
root@osc-bigmac:~# echo "the cake is a lie" > /media/Windows/test.txt
root@osc-bigmac:~# cat /media/Windows/test.txt
the cake is a lie
pretty much
