[TriLUG] Linux NTFS network shares

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

Actually, you can write NTFS in Linux. There are quite a few ways, and
suggestions. One of them being captive-ntfs. It worked, but was VERY,
VERY slow -- I have a Intel 530? 3.46ghz / 4gb of RAM. Using the linux
kernel (2.6.17) I am able to write to NTFS (I was skeptical at first),
but I've transferred a few GB back and forth and have had no issues.

Subject: [TriLUG] Linux NTFS network shares

I have some files that are on an NTFS partition, and do not have the
disk space on any ext Linux partition to temporarily store them if I
were able to convert the NTFS partition to an ext partition.

Anyway, I am wondering if there is some roundabout way that an NTFS
partition, mounted in Linux, could be used with full write capabilities
if it were made a network drive in Windows.

So, in essence, when I needed to write files to the drive, I would just
have to use Windows to do so.  Anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks,
Michael Ham
