You might want to determine the safety of writing to a NTFS file system
from Linux.
If you have a correct fstab entry you shoud be able to do a 'mount
/mnt/windows'
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
The above is what the fstab on a Debian system looks like. The
umask=000 goes under 'options'. I would only do this on my own
workstation and only to copy something 'from' the NTFS partition.
If you share the NTFS partition from Windows another Linux box box
running Samba can access it.
