[ltp] [slightly OT] File system compatibility : W2k-Linux

The ntfs.o modules should allow you to read, but not write a Win2k NTFS
filesystem.  I have two drives in my desktop system.  One is Win2k NTFS,
and the other is linux with several reiserfs partitions.  From within
linux, I am able to read my NTFS filesystem without any problems at all.

I set up W2000 on an NTFS filesystem and later realized I could not
access
it from Linux. Oooops!
