might want to include the new ntfs-3g module in an upcoming release. A read-only-capable drive is not too much help in this case, where I want to be able to move data to and from work, so we will NOT use the built-in module Tom supplied. In fact, unRAID comes with the ntfs loadable module that can read an NTFS file system, unfortunately, it is not able to properly write to NTFS file systems. In the past, Linux had partial support of NTFS file-systems. Get yourself an external USB enclosure, add a hard disk, and format it as NTFS. We can actually use any file system that unRAID understands, but FAT and FAT32 have file size limitations, and ReiserFS does not to my knowledge have a read/write driver available for windows. I use it for backups of some PCs, but let's say that is the data I want to move back and forth from home to work. I have an external USB enclosure with a hard disk that has an NTFS file system. Here is how I did it, without even rebooting the unRAID server, using an external USB enclosure on my array.
If you want the files to be protected, copy the files to one of your array data drives for editing, and then back to the USB drive when done, for transport once the USB drive is unplugged.
The NTFS drive is not used for parity, nor is it part of the unRAID array protected by the parity drive. This procedure to mount an NTFS drive to be visible through user-shares DOES NOT PROTECT THE CONTENTS OF THE NTFS DRIVE with your parity drive. It is very easy to add and remove an external USB drive to be visible in user-shares.
