[SOLVED] USB in NTFS format, always read-only

USB flash disk is mounted as:

/dev/sdb1 on /media/Kotnik type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1,uhelper=udisks)

I am $UID 1000 and still can not delete or create files:

$ touch test.file
touch: cannot touch `test.file': Permission denied

I checked the disk on the Win machine for errors, and it was fine.

Anybody else having this problem?

Install ntfs-3g and use:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/Kotnik

That was it! I was missing ntfs-3g. After installing it, all works, no need for manual mounting.

Thanks JokerBoy!
