Hi,

NTFS is proprietory (e.g. no information is provided by Microsoft without a non-disclosure agreement) and is also quite complex. This means that any third party software (that isn't "closed source" and covered by an NDA) is derived from reverse engineering, and (due to the complexity part) may be wrong (e.g. might not handle all features and all corner-cases correctly).

Are you sure that using NTFS is a rational/justifiable decision?


Cheers,

Brendan

Of course, Linux' NTFS handling is quite stable and works fine.
