[ubuntu-in] Problem with permissions on Hard Disk Media

Here, it has a stable NTFS support, with read and write. Have been
tested for the stability.
I think this is pretty much mature(as web reviews says).

Its available as FUSE (Filesystem in User Space).
See what Synaptic describes it:

Read-write NTFS driver for FUSE
The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation
Linux
NTFS driver for 32-bit, little-endian architectures which was
implemented
by the Linux-NTFS project. It provides full read-write access to NTFS,
excluding access to encrypted files, writing compressed files, changing
file ownership, access right.

Technically it's based on and a major improvement to the third
generation
Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements includes functionality,
quality and performance enhancements.


ntfs-3g is based on FUSE (userspace filesystem framework for Linux),
thus
you will have to prepare fuse kernel module to be able to use it.

Its available as optional in Universe.
