Many Thanks, I will try to patch /src/sys/fs/ntfs/ntfs_subr.c

It's currious the 2.1 release having this *BIG* *BUG* and nobody complain
about as in PR kern/23835 say it's on NetBSD 1.6.2_RC3 ?

Oh, I see... It was reported 22 Dec 2003 and CVS commited 13 Feb 2005 !

Your link is broken or I can't access mail-index, this one is the bug report
:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=23835


Again, :)

The GOOD :

mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
mount_ntfs -o ro /dev/wd0e /mnt2
mount_msdos /dev/sd0a /mnt3
cp /mnt2/base.tgz /mnt3
tar -xpvzf /mnt3/base.tgz -C /mnt

The BAD :

mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
mount_ntfs -o ro /dev/wd0e /mnt2
tar -xpvzf /mnt2/base.tgz -C /mnt

And the UGLY :

I will try patching /src/sys/fs/ntfs/ntfs_subr.c

Thanks.
