Thanks a lot to all guys that pointed me in the right direction about
NTFS!
Just one more question: *why* are people so little interested in
developing a complete driver for NTFS? Windows NT servers are quite
widespread, as I know, Windows 2000 just arrived ... Apart from the
traditional war between the Windows and the Unix world, is there any
*technical* reason that makes developing a NTFS uninteresting?
Cause I think many sysadmins have both NT servers and Unix machines on
their networks and have the same problem as mine ...
Regards,
Razvan
