Hello,
I can write to an ntfs partion if mounting it by hand with 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdf5 /mnt/xp'. But if I use the mount option from the kde Storage Media panel applet (kdebase-3.5.4-13.6.el5.centos) then the partion will be mounted without write support. So how to say kde and CentOS to use ntfs-3g and not ntfs? Maybe by changing some links? Thank you very much.
regards Olaf

Does http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFSPartitions (written by Akemi Yagi) help you?

I'm afraid not. I can mount ntfs with write enabled by the console command above. But kde (Storage Media panel applet) always mounts the partion with ntfs module and never uses ntfs-3g. I think it's an kde problem but I don't know how to solve this. If I remove the ntfs module then kde still ignores ntfs-3g and doesn't mount the partition with an "unknown file system" error any more.

This is apparently a kde problem and you may have better luck on their mailing list. I've found this in the kde bug tracker:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139587
but I do not see a fix for the problem.
