Why is my mounted MacFUSE NTFS vol read-only?

Question

I got the impression from the MacFUSE site that when you install it and connect an NTFS volume it will be writable. However, the volume I mounted is read only. Here is some of the output of mount...

The NTFS external USB drive I'm talking about:

/dev/disk1s1 on /Volumes/SATA160 (local, nodev, nosuid, read-only)

An OS X format external USB drive (for comparison):

/dev/disk3s3 on /Volumes/USB_ext_drive_40_GB (local, nodev, nosuid, journaled)

Do I need to set something somewhere? Edit a config file?

I'm on OS 10.4 (Tiger).

Was it helpful?

Did you also install the NTFS-3G driver?
