Both of them have read/write NTFS partitions mounted via /etc/fstab. And it works fine.

A more comprehensive phrased question since I lost access to the other one.
I would ask that the other one be deleted, not this one, as it should not have been migrated in the first place.
There are currently two NTFS drivers available for Linux.
The NTFS driver included in the kernel, and the…

I'm not sure what has happened, but I've all of a sudden lost write access to any of my NTFS external drives.
I installed a few games and apps from the software center, and now I can't make new folders or copy and paste files to anything that is NTFS. Everything is now read only, and I've tried…

My Server went into a faulty state since the database could not write on the
partition. I found out that the partition went into Read Only mode. Finally to
fix it, I had to do a hard reboot.

I have a new external disk and just made an ext3 partition on it. I'm wondering what's the best way to set permissions on it (so that it's rw for certain users). I guess I could chmod ... /dev/sdb1 but I was thinking of a more dynamic way (kind of like uid= and gid= options for vfat and such).

i'm running into a problem where writing to a file will cause a 5 to 15 second pause, this occurs only on writes. So far i have remounted the filesystem with data=writeback as an option, and set /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb to 64 to shorten the queue.
Are there any other things i can try to…

In my research on file versioning at the fs level, snapshotting, and related ideas, I took a look at hard-links and exactly what they are and how they behave. Using rsync you can get a pretty slick poor man's snapshotting system up and running on file systems that don't natively support it.
But,…

I tried to view the superblock by command "dd" in ext3 file system.
dd if=/dev/sda3 bs=4096 skip=1 count=1 of=superblock
But the result in superblock file is not correct(I compare the value of Inodes count I got from dumpe2fs). The device file /dev/sda3 is started at the boot block and then the…
