This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with NTFS knowledge by the kernel, just
as getting files from an http server has nothing to do with the target
host's filesystem !!!! (your windows box doesn't have to know wether it's
a Solaris, *BSD, or Linux filesystem the files are hosted on ? Same thing
with SMB shares ...)
