I seem to recall my concerns about using ntfs-3g evaporating when I discovered 
that 11.1 had been auto-mounting the Vista partition rw since day one. My bad. 
I just assumed it was being mounted read-only. I added "noauto" to the fstab 
entry and spent a couple of weeks experimented with a 'spare' usb external 
drive; one that came factory formatted ntfs.

Bottom line: It has since worked (and is continuing to work) flawlessly for 
exchanging large volumes of data between my Vista and *nix installations here.

ymmv, but I hth & regards,

Carl
