Are you calling the data that gets entered into the NTFS tables
metadata? Or are you talking about other data (not sure what other data
it would be)? I admit I don't have an intimate knowledge of file
systems, but I do know the basics of how they work, more than your
average joe.

I still think that at the application level there should be a way to
make sure that the move operation completed successfully (and thus the
data and NTFS records are correct) before the source file is deleted...
I think an "extra safe mode" move&copy operations would be nice. I'd
*love* an option to do a software-based crc32 check of the destination
file before the source is removed (or before the copy is completed in
the cases of copies).

In any event, I see it won't be easy to figure out exactly why this is
occurring and so I won't give up on Ubuntu, but hope for continued
improvement and hopefully the implementation of my crc32 option
suggestion. For now I'm going to only use Copy operations, and I'll
upgrade to the latest version of NTFS-3g and see if it helps on a few
test moves as soon as I get a chance.

Thank you!
