Last I heard write support to ntfs was still classified as experimental. I don't know that I'd want to use it even if the performance was tens of times faster than other unix filesystems. That said, I would have to guess that with the amount of emulation needed to ensure the ntfs partition would be compatible with windows the performance, at best, would be on par with unix filesystems but, more likely, would not perform as well. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
