Re: UTF-8 problem with NTFS support?

More strangeness. A person who knows what is on the disk says there
are no strange filenames, just ordinary letters and numbers, so the
utf-8 stuff seems like a red herring. Maybe something is corrupt? Ran
ntfsck:

ntfsck  /dev/sdc1
Unsupported: replay_log()
Unsupported: check_volume()
Checking 45024 MFT records.
Unsupported cases found.

Googled that, still confused. Apparently, ntfsck does not actually do
anything about replay_log or check_volume yet? So it's not clear what
it does or doesn't do, or whether this disk is OK or DOA.

Am I missing something? How can I troubleshoot this filesystem?

mahalo,
Dave
