[ale] Mounting NTFS

[Mike]

I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I can't believe
that full NTFS support will ever exist - it's a moving target for one
thing, (such as now there's ntfs4, ntfs5 and changes to the NT
security (permissions) database between SP4 and SP6). One may
suspect that reverse engineering the undisclosed features of the ntfs
MFT is exactly the sort of activity the DMCA is designed to prevent.
I'm sure if some large entity ever tried to use a R/W ntfs driver under
linux in a commercial environment that attorneys would be all over
them. 

I don't know what you're trying to do, just get at your NT stuff, or
use ntfs for your data because you like it better. 
Have you considered vmware? (www.vmware.com) Here's what you can do:
Install vmware and configured it to boot the WINNT partition. 
Share out the ntfs partition through the internal network that vmware
sets up and use smbclient from linux to get to those shares.
