OK, now that ntfs support has been added to extras, is it time to reconsider
partimage?

The addition of ntfs (ntfs-3g) to extras seems to have taken place in the
October 2006 timeframe (late in the FC6 development cycle).  There appears to
have been some Red Hat internal discussion of NTFS to allow its addition to
extras but I have been unable to find anything.

What is the different between the ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs in extras and the ntfs
support in partimage?

If I understand correctly, the same rules apply to both Fedora Extras and Fedora
Core ... e.g., no MP3 stuff.  If ntfs any different?  Is the ntfs support in
partimage any different that that in ntfs-3g?  Granted, ntfs-3g needs a lot more
functionality since partimage only needs to handle ntfs partitions enough to
backup and restore used blocks.

I would be happy to see it added to extras but I really believe it needs to be
added to Core so that it can be on the rescuecd ... I have built my own versions
of the rescuecd which adds partimage and have found this to be very useful for
backup and restore.

If (somehow) the ntfs support in partimage is different from that in ntfs-3g,
what changes in partimage would it take to make it as acceptable as ntfs-3g?
