[Westwales] Over Secure?

[Alex Howells]

You can read NTFS quite happily, but writing data is a pain in the
ass.  If the file sizes match exactly, it'll usually go ahead and do
it, but writing stuff where file sizes have changed just doesn't work
at the moment. Who knows if that will be fixed in future :(
