Very nice. Can you do massive writes reliably, like copying the
contents [say 100,000 files/dirs] of a 100 Gig partition?

Is there any documentation on this, showing what can and can't be
done? Or any fairly rigorous testing? I'm VERY interested in a linux
that is bullet-proof with ntfs writes - particularly one that can be
run from CD/DVD.
