Can't write to hdb1/hdb2
Posts: 2
Hello, I'm having trouble writing to hdb1 (my future Windows partition, ntfs) and hdb2 (extra storage, fat32). I can write to hdb2 while in super user mode, but cannot write to hdb1 at all (this may be because it's NTFS, I'm not sure). I can read them both fine. I'm running Mepis 6.0, here is my fstab file.
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda2 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ntfs auto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb2 vfat auto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660,udf noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy vfat,ext2 noauto,users,exec,rw 0 0
Thanks for any help.

I thought that may be the reason. The NTFS partition isn't of great concern for me at the moment, it's the Fat32 partition that I need to be able to write to.
6.0 can't write on NTFS

6.0 can't write on NTFS volumes. 6.5 RC2 can.
I think it's rather complicated for newbies to make it work (and for me to explain) so the simpliest way to get that is to upgrade to 6.5 when it's declared "released".
