Write access on NTFS volume in Linux

Getting write access on a NTFS volume is a bit hairy in Linux. But that has been made easy by ntfs-3g driver.

"The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available NTFS driver for Linux with read and write support. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems. Most POSIX file system operations are supported, with the exception of full file ownership and access right support."

I installed it in my debian sid in this way:

#apt-get install ntfs-3g

Then editted /etc/fstab like this:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs-3g rw,user 0 0

then executed this in root shell to grant my access 2 that drive as normal user.

#adduser fuse

You can find more info on this on http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

Thanks to Mr. Jamil Ahmed to pointing me to this amazing stuff.
