The standard NTFS kernel driver and ntfsprogs have only a limited write support. E.g. the kernel driver only allows to change existing files, but without changing their length.I then thought I should try the FUSE based tools, so I removed the ntfsprogs package and libntfs9 that it depends on and tried to install ntfs-3g. But it depends on 'libfuse2 (>=2.6), but all that's available in Etch is 2.5.3-4.4, which is already installed. [...]NTFS-3G is not in stable yet, try installing it from http://backports.org/. It will surely allow you to write.
That's the rub - I did try to install NTFS-3G, from backports, but it has the dependency mentioned (on libfuse2 >=2.6), which didn't get resolved by the installer.
I'll check backports again, and see if the libfuse2 library is there. If so I'll try installing it "manually" and report back.
Thanks. -- Bob McGowan
