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.

Best Regards,
