You _can_ tell freebsd to mount ntfs read-write: but that is like saying that you can bungee jump using dental floss as a rope.

It will cause strange behavior and filesystem corruption.

You are correct - and it is a pity that someone (me included) didn't tweak to that one sooner - he should be using fuse-ntfs.
