Dear moderator, this is pure FUD. The Linux-NTFS tools are used very extensively in many places and softwares without any reliability problem for several years now. See e.g. http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/....html#reliable and http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/...ize.html#write

The only problem is actually the above style disinformation people spread around for whatever reason but they are never able to back up their claims with real world facts or examples.
