I would like to suggest not closing this bug, as I recently ran in to a
damaged ntfs partition that I was unable to mount using ntfs-3g, but a
friend *was* able to mount using the kernel driver.  At the very least,
when ntfs-3g is installed it should make a mount.ntfskernel or something
so that people troubleshooting have the option of using the kernel ntfs
driver.

Even if the reason why my friend was able to mount the drive was not due
to differences in ntfs-3g vs kernel ntfs, we should still leave the
option on the table.  I have nothing against ntfs-3g as the default in
ubuntu, but it seems like the kernel ntfs driver should still be
accessible for troubleshooting/recovery cases where ntfs-3g might not
work.

Thanks for your time.
