The "-f" option SHOULD not do anything at all to a mounted volume in the ntfsinfo
case.
Dirty volumes may have damaged structure and the user should be fully aware
that the utility may give wrong results or crash, and this is why the "-f" flag
exists.
A read-write utility is more serious than ntfsinfo in the case of dirty volumes
and the "-f" option should be treated accordingly.
When a volume is mounted it is dirty, and the only way to use ntfsinfo is with
the "-f" flag. I use it all the time and yet nothing bad happened, but no one
can not take responsibility in case it will erase you entire drive or worse.
