For some strange reason and without thinking too much about it, I shared a folder on a Windows XP NTFS partition, mounted it under Mac OS X 10.4.8 and started copying a file to it reading from the DVD-RW of my Macbook.
The copying process started alright and then all of a sudden I realized I was writing to NTFS. Huh?
I thought mounting an NTFS partition would only give you read options. Or am I wrong? I immediately checked the files on the Windows partition and they seems to run just fine.
Does Mac OS actually write but it's not a guaranteed write or what? What am I missing? :/
