Agreed.

I assume that is how it always was with NTFS_RW configured in the
CentOS-Plus kernel?

Perhaps I should add the following to the kmod-ntfs description in the
ELRepo wiki --

"This module is configured for partial, but safe, write support.

The only operation permitted is the overwriting of existing files,
without changing the file length.
No file or directory creation, deletion or renaming is possible."

Any comments, please?

Alan.
