Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

Hi!

You should maybe update the NTFS-3G driver on Buntu versions still
supported to at least 1.2506. Versions prior to it could be considered
dangerous. Here is the release history on this version:

STABLE Version 1.2506 (May 6, 2008) :
Fix: In certain, rare circumstances, any area of the NTFS volume, except the 
NTFS boot sector, could get corrupted. The chance for this to happen is higher 
for close to full disk utilization and using one of the more uncommon, less 
than 4096 byte cluster sizes. The cluster size is logged under the /var/logs 
directory usually in the 'messages' or 'daemon.log' log file, as the blksize 
mount parameter. All stable releases have this issue since version 1.328. 
Upgrade is strongly recommended from all NTFS-3G releases.

Ok, it says rare, but I'm scared :)
