Re: [Linux-NTFS-User] Read-Write NTFS with kernel 2.6.27.27

[Anton A. <ai...@ca...>]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

The fully functional read-write kernel driver is at least for now a  
commercial offering.  For details see:

	http://www.tuxera.com/

The standard Linux 2.6 kernel series contains a cut-down version which  
can only overwrite existing files but cannot create or delete files.

Best regards,

	Anton
