This often happens for filesystems that does not support user permissions (like FATxx). However, NTFS DOES SUPPORT PERMISSIONS.

Your partition has run of space (you shoud see "No space left on device" error message). In this case df my need some time to calculate the used space on the device. 2. The NTFS module in kernels <= 2.2.16 and probably newer is somewhat still EXPERIMENTAL and thereso supports ONLY READ OPERATIONS from a NTFS partition. In addition it does not handle permissions for now. If you are really using a NTFS partition you would have a hard problem to solve. You might consider creating 100-200MB VFAT partition just for transfer purposes, or try keeping what you want available to the both OSes on in NTFS partition and accessing from Linux. Hope this might help you, Pavel M. Penev
