The open source, freely available, stable read/write NTFS driver, NTFS-3G 1.0 has just been released. The driver, released half year ago for beta testing, made progress, thanks to ten or even hundreds of thousands testers, early adopters, and developers. In consequence of the open communications and positive experiences, NTFS-3G is available for over 60 Linux distributions today, including most major ones. Moreover it was ported to new operating systems like FreeBSD, BeOS, Haiku, and Mac OS X.

Does NTFS-3G need regular defragging just like the original? And does it slowly grind to a halt as the disk fills up - like the original?
For resilience, NTFS is a great FS but it is slow and high maintenance.
I think I'd stick with native Linux file systems and share with Windows using Samba.
This has to be great for disaster recovery (for disasters such as "Oh my god! I've accidentally installed Windows")
