If is true that Linux can write on NTFS, but the developers
will recommend that you do not do this.  They do not have
the specs of NTFS from Microsoft, and unless they get that
they will not want to officially support writing on NTFS on the
basis of educated guesses.  Will Microsoft give out the
specs?  That is anybody's guess.
