For those of you who don't know how to modify the /etc/fstab file just follow this little howto and you will be able to write on your NTFS partition using Wine.
1. use your favorite editor to modify /etc/fstab
Code:
$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab
or
Code:
$ kdesu kwrite /etc/fstab
or if you are really brave
Code:
$ sudo vi /etc/fstab
once in the editor of your choice you should see the following:
Code:
/dev/sda2 / xfs noatime,nodiratime 1 1
/dev/sda1 /windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=664 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/windows/MP3 /MP3 none bind 0 0
2. Notice how /dev/sda1 is the windows NTFS partition using the ntfs-3g driver and at the defaults value. As vitamin had posted previously from ntfs-3g's website you need to add the exec option to the end of the list.
Code:
/dev/sda1 /windows ntfs-3g noatime,nodiratime,defaults,blksize=4096,locale=en_US.UTF-8,exec 0 0
3. The finished product.
Code:
/dev/sda2 / xfs noatime,nodiratime 1 1
/dev/sda1 /windows ntfs-3g noatime,nodiratime,defaults,blksize=4096,locale=en_US.UTF-8,exec 0 0
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=664 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/windows/MP3 /MP3 none bind 0 0
4. Reboot
