If you mount using the userspace tools, yes it is ready for daily use |
| 18 |
:) The kernel driver still has limitations like, IIRC, being unable to |
| 19 |
create/rename/delete directories, and some other basic things like |
| 20 |
that. |

Using the FUSE tools from the classical NTFS driver you can do those |
| 23 |
things and the rest, but I think NTFS-3G is generally considered |
| 24 |
better. Most of the big distros use NTFS-3G as their default NTFS |
| 25 |
driver (as do I <g>) |
| 26 |
|

For more NTFS info than you ever wanted, check out www.linux-ntfs.org |
| 28 |
for the classic kernel driver and www.ntfs-3g.org for the newer |
| 29 |
driver. |
