Options in fstab or mount command is the only place where you can
change the permissions of NTFS filesystems. NTFS filesystems are
mounted read-only by default.
There are 2 kernel modules that provide ntfs support . The first one
is read-only , if you select then an ntfs partition will be mounted
read-only not by default but because it is the only way to do it .
The second one is the one that provides some limited writing
capabilities ,
now if you use that one then you would have to specify "ro" during the
mount proccess since writing is possible .
Now Redhat for as long as i can remember never shipped a linux
version
with ntfs filesystem support , so if you wanted filesystem support you
would have
to recompile the kernel and add it . At which point ( recompiling of
kernel) you would
have to choose which kernel module you wanted ( there is help available
there ) .
Personally i stopped using the kernels provided by Redhat since they lacked
ntfs filesystem support ( i dual boot and need ntfs filesystem support )
so i just
use the kernels provided by kernel.org which btw have the read-only
module
preselected , in which case YES the ntfs partition will be mounted
read-only by
default .
