[olug] NTFS write Support

[Jonathan Warren]

I don't know if I was very understandable before so i am trying to redeem myself.  the NTFS write support that does exists corupts the NT partition.  There is a follow on program that must be ran before booting into windows and then the windows scandisk will fix the rest.  That driver is no longer supported and being replaced by a newer driver that doesn't yet have write support.  If you read the kernel.org updates for the 2.5 development kernel there are a lot of references to the NTFS driver.  Anwyay I would check there for status of write support or even monitor the kernel mailing list.
