while readonly access is great, a problem i always have with NT machines
is to access the NTFS (or a file on it) to have a local swapfile when 
using the machine as a diskless FreeBSD.

Any idea on how to achieve at least a restricted form of write access
(e.g. without letting one change file size or attributes, only data
blocks) ?

This way i could create zeroed swapfiles/MFS images of the right size
while in NT, and then have them usable when booting FreeBSD.

        thanks
