Hey Rob. I think that the current NTFS driver in the kernel is based off of the Linux-NTFS project. At the time it started, the ntfs driver in the kernel only supported reading and rewriting a file of the exact same size. I haven't tried to use it for creating files, so I'm not too sure. But I think that's what it was. -Russ
