Accessing an NTFS partition

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all. Sorry for the duplicate post don't know why that happened.
Apparently NTFS write support is not well-tested (not complete either). As
a result, the FS can get damaged. Look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help for more info on this.

May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.
