Jay,
this looks like a nice product. Having said that, when I checked out the
user documentation for version 0.65 I found that it contains the
following caveats with respect to NTFS formatted
Drives/Directories/Files. As I think about it, it is not clear to me
what value there is in having NTFS capabilities in a NAS if there is no
way to write to such drives/directories. Perhaps additional NTFS support
is planned for a future revision.
