According to the official docs, due to limitations of the fuse driver
for 2.4 kernels, ntfs-3g on such old kernels is prone to data loss.
This is a fuse problem, but effectively if you value your NTFS
partition's consistency, it means that ntfs-3g on such old kernels
should be read-only.
On 2.6, ntfs-3g works wonderfully on all the devices in read and write
modes, and is the driver I recommend for NTFS support on the SlugOS
(ARM) distro.
Sorry for not being more clear.
