Please apply below patch for your next pre releases. It is against
2.4.17-pre5 but should apply cleanly to both later 2.4.x and 2.5.x
kernels.
Patch has very important ntfs bug fixes.
1. Fix a bogus BUG() call in ntfs readdir().
2. Fix reading of more complicated $MFT inodes. Without the patch some
Win2k partitions would refuse to mount.
This patch is in response to bug reports from Joe Perches and Andreas
Schuldei whom I would like to thank for providing debug output and testing
the patches while they were evolving to verify that the fixes do indeed
solve the problems they experienced with their Win2k NTFS volumes.
Best regards,
Anton
