I'm not sure. It's true that its functionality is very limited (ntfs-3g
also supports read-only mounts of course) but
- unlike ntfs-3g, the kernel driver isn't quality tested
- I've fixed many problems in the NTFS code base which could also
exist in the kernel driver. One of the most serious bugs I
remember was freeing memory in truncate() which could be modified
later on (random memory corruptions).
