I'm completely not disparaging anyone's work!! I did have the
feeling that most Linux distributions are very (overly?) cautious
with not allowing writing to ntfs partititions, but you just
explained very well that it's not that straightforward at all.
(Thanks for that!)
I tend to lean towards Red Hat's point of view: We will not include
*any* NTFS support by default. If you want it, you'll have to install
it and re-compile your kernel yourself, then any damage that does
occur is completely your own fault :-)
Over-cautious? Maybe, but it's also the safe route for a distro that
is aiming for the corporate market
You can read what Hans Reiser has to say about NTFS at
http://www.namesys.com if you want to know a little more
VERY interesting site, thank you very much!
Ja, Hans is German and likes to document *everything*.
Did you read the bit about the unexpected results when they actually
measured what happens to moving lots of small files around the tree?
I found that amazing, and at first counter-intuitive, but obvious
once you knew what is going on.
