stop right there :) ive read time and time again that NTFS under linux is UNSTABLE. and especially the code with win2k filesystems. see this: http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20001225_99.html#5 a quote: "If this was a business, and we were knowingly distributing software that was known to be dangerous, we would probably be risking legal action. Why are we distributing such severely broken software? Heck, we seem reluctant to include reiserfs, a pretty high quality, supported file system. And we continue to distribute this [EMAIL PROTECTED] There must besome strange agenda going on to limit the use of Linux. " also see: http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20010202_105.html#8 a quote: "Cataldo Thomas asked if NTFS was safe for read-only. Pavel Machek said, AFAICS, ext3 is happy to write to read-only mounted partition. So question was not completely stupid." nate
