Remember also that the NTFS driver for Linux is a reverse engineering of the
Windows NT 4.0 (NTFS v4) filesystem. Martin's warning goes double for anyone
attempting to mount a Windows 2000 or XP (NTFS v5) filesystem. I don't mean to
overstate the obvious, but when playing Russian roulette one should not be
surprised when (not if) something terrible happens.
