NTfs is a Microsoft proprietary format for which open documentation is not completely availalbe (and it is subject for change at the whim of Microsoft strategic planners).

Maybe you could move the data to a Samba server. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
