: I know this question should be else where but since the kernel ntfs 
: doesn't allow for writting and fusefs-ntfs is stable why is ntfs still 
: in the kernel and if it should be there why not replace it with fuse?

Because the kernel based ntfs works and is BSD.  FUSE is GPL, and new
GPL components are to be avoided.

ntfs, btw, handles write errors better than any other file system in
the system today.  I've been able to recover 90% of the files from a
badly damaged disk where other recovery utilities got only 10%.
