Re: NTFS problems.

[James Frazer <jfrazer@xxxxxxxx>]

What do you suppose the likelihood of the 'trash my system' bug being 
fixed in the NTFS code?

Last time I mounted an NTFS partition (few months ago) everything broke 
-- to the extent that I could no longer boot DragonFly -- and then I had 
to do a complete reinstall.  This wasn't much fun.  I'm kind of affraid 
to try it again.

Any ideas?

thanks,

James
