See e.g. http://www.osronline.com/lists_archive/ntfsd/thread4129.html or http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817921. For linux kernel cross-builds, it's only filenames rather than dir names we're worried about, but I still reckon that a patch to provide posix-flag mount points might be a useful kind of 'managed mount lite' feature. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... ------ Want more information?
