Change access permissions
I purchased a 2TB hard drive, split it into two partitions, and formatted it as NTFS. I want to use the drive on my pc and my mac. How can I change the access permissions so Mac OS 10.4.11 will let me write to the drive?
I tried this:
$ chmod +a "admin allow write" /volumes/V2_Mac
chmod: Failed to set ACL on file /volumes/V2_Mac: Read-only file system
This is how the two partitions appear with ls -la:
drwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 0 Apr 22 2009 V2_Mac
drwxr-xr-x 1 admin staff 0 Apr 22 2009 V2_NTFS
I don't want to use a FAT32 partition because it limits the size of the files I can move between computers.
