Using sarge with 2.6.17-3 and ntfs rw. No problem except when doze does somthing wierd. On the next linux boot the ntfs mount will bomb. fsck the ntfs partition (invariably some cross linked files) and everything will work normally. note linux never did anyhing since the last boot to the ntfs partition. I notice this behavioue very often on systems with one of the commercial AV crap installed. In the most recent case it was brontok something, which mangles the fat (whatever) entries and was "cleaned" by the av program. Doze continues to work across reboots until u boot into linux, then the "unable to mount ntfs" error. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
