Hi, I have a mounted an NTFS partition that is set as "rw" in fstab. I can
read the data stored  in the drive but I cannot store new files on that
drive. Anybody here encountered this before? Or can anybody please suggest a
way to make that drive writable?

the hadisk is detected as
ad1: 38166MB <Seagate ST340014A 3.06> at ata0-slave UDMA33

it is mounted in the /etc/fstab as
/dev/ad1s1              /LouiGi    ntfs    rw      0       0

here is the output of my uname -a
FreeBSD bok.gihl.eu.org 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0: Fri Mar  3
15:43:19 PHT 2006     root at BoK.GiHL.Eu.Org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GiHL  i386

and i have this error whenever i try to write a file...
[BoK]/LouiGi at root> echo cristale >> kwak.txt
kwak.txt: No such file or directory.

[BoK]/LouiGi at root> touch lualhati.txt
touch: lualhati.txt: No such file or directory

thank you very much.
