When I switch between windows and Linux, windows does not
detect any issues with the filesystem. So no, I have not manually
invoked chkdsk.

No. I will try it and see.

That is a good question. On Windows, Thunderbird self updates
and on restart of thunderbird, I am always running the latest.
On Linux, this is more of a manual process, or when yum runs.
But generally, the Linux version sometimes is one revision
behind the windows version. However, this has never given me
problems in the past - until I updated the ntfs-3g rpm.

What is the side effect of using different index files? Would that not
lead to inconsistency between the two?

Aha! - so you do not trust ntfs-3g to "write" correctly yet ? :) :)
