Yes, I know this.  That was not my question.  My question is that
when you DO attach to a local NTFS partition, has the write 
corruption problem for the NTFS driver been fixed, and if so, as
of what release of FreeBSD?  I know this is now claimed to work
in Linux as for ntfs3 support. 'Just wondering where FreeBSD is
in that evolution, that's all.
