I personally think that the copy of NTFS in the kernel > is stale and unusable for a lot of different use-cases, to be honest.. But it works well for a lot of cases (e.g. works fine for me on current with Vista NTFS) and much better in some situations than fuse. Thus the latter can't replace its functionality fully. We'd better fix bugs you're experiencing (btw I haven't seen any with ntfs driver so far). -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE !DSPAM:497839f2967001994737060!
