What's Happening With NTFS On Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the status-reports-please dept.

A suspiciously shady Anonymous Coward asks: "Given that more and more people with MS operating systems are migrating to Linux, it seems curious that the NTFS kernel module has seen little development (still experimental, dangerous in RW mode). What projects are on the horizon to make Linux play nicer with NTFS volumes?" Will the changes that Microsoft has made to NTFS for Windows 2000 significantly delay any planned NTFS development?

    I sure would like to be able to write to the evil half of my machine from the good. I curse the day when I converted my big-ass 20G partition from FAT32 (readable by all) to NTFS-NT5. Once I can read my MP3s again, I will be at peace...

      I don't use 9x - NT5 is better for everything I do. I use NT5 and RedHat 7 (I know it's buggy, but that builds character).
