Jep ... korrekt. Det burde også fremgå af hjælpeteksten fra
kernekonfigurationen. Fra kernel 2.6.1:
====
config NTFS_RW
bool "NTFS write support"
depends on NTFS_FS
help
This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS
driver.
The only supported operation is overwriting existing files,
without
changing the file length. No file or directory creation,
deletion or
renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be
written to
so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so)
cannot
be written to.
While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data,
we have
so far not received a single report where the driver would have
damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite
from
scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old
NTFS
write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
is not safe.
This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux
is run
on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without
partitioning your
hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux
does not
need its own partition. For more information see

http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/>
It is perfectly safe to say N here.
