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

suggest a way to make that drive writable?
Yes; I imagine that *everybody* who has tried this has encountered
this (or something similar) before...
If you RTF(riendly ;-)M, you'll see this:

WRITING
There is limited writing ability. Limitations:
file must be nonresident and must not contain any sparces
(uninitialized areas); compressed files are also not supported.
The file name must not contain multibyte characters.
----------------------------------
A port exists (ntfsprogs) that *might* write NTFS a
tad better, but I'm not sure that it's at all guaranteed.
I'm certainly not going to do so ;-)
IIRC, when you look up "proprietary" at Wikipedia, NTFS
is a synonym. :-D
