The mount_ntfs(8) manual page states that there is limited write capability for NTFS-mounted filesystems. I am finding that there is not write capability at all. What is the state of writing to an NTFS filesystem on FREEBSD? I cannot write anything whatsoever. Does NTFS writing work on any FreeBSD system? Here is the output of 'mount -p': /dev/ad0s1 /m/ntfs ntfs rw 0 0 And here is what happens when I try to write to an NTFS mount, e.g.: % date > xx xx: No such file or directory. Reads work fine. >How-To-Repeat: mount_ntfs -rw /dev/ntfs_partition /m/ntfs [write 'anything' to /m/ntfs]... (Use cat, cp, shell redirect, whatever) anything: No such file or directory. >Fix: Fix the kernel driver code? Alternatively, fix the documentation. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
