BTW, if anybody knows, is the NTFS linux driver very slow ? It is taking hours and hours to copy about 50GB of data. I knew it would take a while, but this is ridiculous.
I have copied about 20gb of data in a very short time - I don't think it suffers from any glaring slowness. Perhaps you could try iostat? it should show you the throughput - might be some sort of bottleneck there

I was using the captive-ntfs driver to get data from a 200GB external USB 2.0 disk enclosure. In the end, I plugged the disk into a Windows 2003 server with USB 1.0 and copied if over the network, as USB 1 was faster than 2 with ntfs-captive. I was really, really suprised by this.
Using "ntfs" instead of "captive-ntfs" may have been different, but I never tried it.
