[Sheflug] Writing to NTFS

["Darrell Blake" <darrell [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To cut a long story short I got a DVD writer for Chrimbo and with DVD images
being larger than 2gb I have a bit of a problem.

The setup I usually have is 10gb for Linux, 5gb for Windows and then a 20gb
FAT partition so I can share the downloads between both. Because DVD images
are larger than 2gb I'm having to store the images on my Linux parition.
Which isn't really a problem but I can't hold more than one image at a time
so I would rather use my downloads partition.

What I'm wanting to know is what kind of support Linux has for writing to
NTFS partitions? I know it can read them but I'm not sure about writing. Are
there any new modules in the 2.6 kernel for instance which help with this?
