I've applied this patch, since it does seem to work now. I did not
observed any differences, but I did not do any big measures. The fs
_feels_ faster now, but might be quite misleading (last time I really
played with ntfs heavily was with old, slower disk).

I've also found and eliminated one locking problem in ntfs, which
could make things working for you, Brook.

You'd need following revisions:
syssrc/sys/ntfs/ntfs_vfsops.c	rev. 1.36
syssrc/sys/ntfs/ntfs_subr.c	rev. 1.29

Please let me know if this made things working for you.
