I just went to go do a new complile on the laptop for 2.6.7, and going thru the options to make sure everything was alright I came across something new and unexpected under

Filesystems---->dos/fat/nt filesystems

I saw that under the ntfs file system support that there isn't a warning message next to the NTFS write support, instead it only has (new) so...either it was left out by accident (unlikely) or did many someone's finally figure a way to do it without borking the ntfs system?

For reference I'm looking at the gentoo-development sources 2.6.7

Anyone else notice this in any of your recent compiles, and if its indeed true that there's safe write support?

i have written text files to ntfs drives without problems so far, just to try things out, but i'm not going to do that regularly until i get a definitive answer.
