Having looked at the source, I'd recommend against mounting any
NTFS filesystems read-write until you hear otherwise. Currently
write support consists off: We can write to files but we don't know
how to allocate blocks, so we can only change data in existing
files. In addition, there is quite a long list of TODO's before
ntfs becomes really useful.
