i read somewhere that MS built the NTFS filesystem to be "hack-proof" during around 20 years. Somehow, by design, it would be for them to have some kind of "patent", as i guess they have that duration in the common "mode" In fact, i could always mount, or define in fstab, ntfs partitions in read-only mode. For some "cross-platform" share (music DB, files to be transfered, etc.), i use fat32 partitions. No Reiser 'cause Windoze would not see it. But using the ntfs.sys file in a wine is sure a technique worth to try... I'll try it when i can. If someone achieves this, it means that "NFTS is done :-) Not reading Reisers, Ext2, Ext3.. but reading NTFS... and writing to it... very cool! :-)) 20 years have gone so fast ;-)
