True.

Well, in this case (Mdk81 I think), the kernel did effectively mount it ro, but in
deciding to mount it ro (since it was not told), it trashed the partition. Luckily
that was only the system partition, and not data ...

But diskdrake could have prevented it. It would be nice if:
-diskdrake could be fixed to it can actually mount an NTFS partition (see first bit
of my post)
-diskdrake would default to ro for NTFS (to save us from a stupid kernel)
