Not only the above, but this change also managed to break guestfs on Windows filesystems :-( I've had it on my to-do list to take a look at this but haven't got around to it. First question - do we know if the NTFS driver in the kernel is any good? The old one was _not_ which is why we stuck with ntfs-3g.
