Once again, see the "Release Notes" (linked to on that page):  
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/rel26.html#limitations

There are issues with writing to NTFS volumes from anything but the same
NT installation that created it.  I encourage not only Linux users, but
even MCSEs, to be aware of the severe limitations to NTFS' design.

This is not really a Linux issue, although Linux is trying to solve it
as best as it can.  Captive is pretty nice for older NTFSv4 volumes from
NT4 installations, because Microsoft's "Dynamic Disc" option only works
for NT5+ (and it still lets you trash ACEs and other meta-data).

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
