18 from linux-ntfs.org:
19 *Write support:* Last, but not least, the kernel driver now does all
20 sorts of mambo jumbo when mounting a volume R/W. Features come slower
21 than ntfsmount (fuse) but much more stable.

23 So RW use of kernel-driver is now really reliable? (using 2.6.15-gentoo-r5)
24 Or better to use ntfsprogs/fuse?
