The supplied source installs very easily (I'm not sure if NTFS read support is required in your kernel for this or not, as captive searches your drives for the required Windows files). However, there seems to be a buffer overflow somewhere, not sure if it is in my lufs implementation or captive itself. This cause "unusual" behaviour upon file deletions (and from df). This was with a 10 gig partition and a directory containing a little over a thousand files. It is also reasonably memory and CPU intensive.
