Change ntfs line in fstab

[jo3]

I've added a line in fstab to automatically mount ntfs. Right now the ntfs partition is in "read only" state.

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows1 ntfs ro,umask=0222,user,gid=users                0 0

How to change the line to so that I can read and write as well...?

simply put.. you cant write to NTFS

however.. with a commercial utility it is possible. see: http://www.ntfs-linux.com/

I thought linux software is by necessity open-source?

You could try captive NTFS

You'll need a copy of ntfs.sys, ntoskrnl.exe from your windows partitions, Wine and possibly some other components. I've not tried this myself, but have heard some good reports about it.

or you can also try the different but related, ntfsmount,
