My problem has not been with NTFS corruption in Linux, but with NTFS'
propensity to mark itself dirty in a way that Linux refuses to fix. I
then have to wait to go into work to mount in in windows and allow it
to be marked OK so that Linux will mount it again.
If I find that FAT32 will not make this drive usable, I have a nice
hammer that will make it into usable scrap metal.
