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.
there are commercial products to do this, or you can do it over the network.
"Ultimate boot disk" for gets around this by using the NTFS lic on the
windows partition.
there is more than one (more than 3) versions of NTFS...
