===amd64=== [ebuild R ] sys-fs/ntfs3g-1.1120 USE="-debug -suid" 0 kB Installation [ok] I tested it doing the following task: 1º) I created a ntfs partition with mkntfs from ntfsprogs 2º) mounted the partition: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 3º) Do evil things, like copy portage tree into partition (lot of small files) 4º) delete portage tree: rm -rf portage/ it gives some errors or warnings: rm: cannot remove directory `portage//dev-libs/elfutils': Operation not supported, and lets some directories undeleted. I can remove them manually later. 5º) umount and mount again 6º) touch somefiles 7º) umount I don't have a copy of windows to do some test, but with ntfsprogs partitions seems to work fine.
