neko, Your impolite off list response to me was one thing, but publicly calling Ted Unangst a troll is pure stupidity. Ted is one of the people kind enough to give you OpenBSD. The only good thing about you being stupid enough to put 8 operating systems on one disk is the people on this mailing list have an 87.5% chance you'll decide to use some other OS, uninstall OpenBSD, unsubscribe from misc@, and your pointless bitching will end. You and everyone else dumb enough to run the read/write NTFS code offered by ntfs-g3.org or similar are only one "Windows Update" away from corrupting all your data. The NTFS file system is intentionally undocumented, so Microsoft can, and will, change their internal NTFS specification whenever they want. This means your misguided use of the ntfs-g3.org code can start destroying your NTFS data whenever Microsoft decides they want your data destroyed. Microsoft very intentionally tries to make sure their products are undocumented and incompatible for two reasons; (1) it allows Microsoft to lock-in the end users, and (2) some end users and some free software developers are dumb enough to burn up all their time and resources attempting to attain and maintain compatibility with Microsoft's ever changing undocumented crap. There really are people in the world smart enough to avoid wasting their time with intentionally undocumented and incompatible crap from vendors like Microsoft. You are obviously not one of them. You are not even smart enough to understand the real problems caused by running a sad hack to access an undocumented file system that the vendor can change at any moment. Worse yet, you're dumb enough to bitch and complain because OpenBSD is smart enough to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot with unreliable file system code. The best thing you can do is uninstall OpenBSD, unsubscribe from misc@, and continue down your ignorant path to eventual data destruction using one of the seven other operating systems you currently have installed. -JCR
