Well, I used to have an external NTFS hard drive. I used fusefs-ntfs and I= =20 could write in the drive. But there were times where the machine crashed an= d I=20 couldn't even get a core dump. It also stoped durong the core dump and=20 freezed... So I couldn't even place a PR for that... That was in amd64 architecture Best regards Elias
