Re: [Bug 203540] Re: ntfs-3g crashed while copying files to an external USB drive (in ntfs_mft_record_alloc)

Sorry for the late answer, I've been away and I'm catching up with a
ton of unread mail.

> Ok, Acronis is known to have problem with NTFS.

Not what I'd call good news, considering that I use Acronis quite
extensively; nice to know, nevertheless.

> Chkdsk is not reliable. It also has several known problems.

Is there anything you may suggest to check a NTFS partition reliably?
Other than see if ntfs-3g crashes on it, I mean... :-) In other words,
what could I do between using Acronis and accessing the same disk with
ntfs-3g to be sure that the file system is not messed up?

Thanks for your patience
Ric

XP Pro SP2, Italian, with up-to-date security updates.

I had used Acronis TrueImage once on the affected disk, but I had run
Chkdsk on it a couple of times since, so it hardly matters IMHO.

Unfortunately I don't have the disk with me, nor will I for some days.
In the meantime it is being used with other Windows boxes (all XP SP2,
same as above). Will the info still be useful if I send them in a week
or so?

Thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work
