    Error when using dd to backup HD to external NTFS formatted.

    I get the error "NTFS: Cannot handle saving inode 0xNN" when backing up a hard drive to a NTFS volume. Is this because of the NTFS issue with Linux or is something else haywire? THis error occurs when I use the dd command and I have only noticed it to happen when I start the process.

    First, please tell me what this error means and then how to prevent it.

    You can't safely write to NTFS with Knoppix. You could do it if you were accessing a remote NTFS share via smbmount.

    yikes! DO NOT try to write to an NTFS partition under Linux!!

    You can RUIN THE VOLUME very easily!

    You can only write to a NTFS partition if you don't change the file size (i.e. cloop image)

    Does that mean that I can write a file to an NTFS partition, but that I shouldn't try to manipulate and/or change the file with Linux?
