Redhat folks said pretty plainly on the list they don't want to hear about nVidia closed driver problems because all of the pieces are not available for them to work with. I guess it is the same with NTFS. As much as the technical issue I think you'll find a deep antipathy towards investing in these proprietary and closed formats and taking on the burden of officially supporting them, they correctly view it as a losing proposition. So don't hold your breath. There are advantages to indirecting the file access through samba anyway. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....
