Package: ntfs-3g
Version: 1:1.2531-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss



I converted a partition from NTFS to EXT3.
So first i backuped the partition on a USB-HD with NTFS-partition.
Then i formatted the local partition with EXT3 and copied the files back.

In both cases the where 2-3 files that where not copied in complete size!
This happens even by copying NTFS -> NTFS and NTFS -> EXT3.
After i copied the incomplete files again everything was fine.

The first time i used Krusader for coying, after the first problem i copied in 
an xterm with "cp -R -v".
So it should not be a problem of the tool or "cp" has a problem itself.

I copied 22868 files in 703 directories with 47,2 GB of data.


Maybe an upgrade to the new ntfs-3g-1.2918, released on September 18, 2008 will 
help ?
I also asked for this problem at ntfs-3d.org and refer to this bug.
