Well, I used to have an external NTFS hard drive. I used fusefs-ntfs and I 
could write in the drive. But there were times where the machine crashed and I 
couldn't even get a core dump. It also stoped durong the core dump and 
freezed... So I couldn't even place a PR for that...

That was in amd64 architecture
