>> OK, that's what is referred to as the old read-only in-tree driver. It has had experimental write support for a long time, but people still call it "the read-only driver". Most people "in the know" seem to advise that the write support should not be used, and many advise not using that driver it at all. The ntfs-3g FUSE driver is usually recommended instead. |

Because it is read-only for all practical purposes. Unless there's been a recent improvement its write support technically works, but it can only change the contents of existing files and cannot create new ones. Works fine for a read-only driver, but not much point to using it unless you're an insane nutjob like me who occasionally needs to boot from NTFS and so needs a driver that can be compiled in. |
