[Linux-NTFS-Dev] OK to modify existing file?

[Mike G. <mp...@du...>]

Hi-

I read in the documentation that write support exists in the new
driver if I only want to modify the contents of a file, but not change
the length or create/remove files.  Is this correct?  How stable is
this?

I want to create a large file (in windows), and use this file as an ext3
partition under linux, using the loop device.  I'm creating a boot CD
that needs to have an ext[23] filesystem available to it (ramdisk and
fd0 won't work) without reformatting,  no matter what FS is on the disk
already. I've got the loop device trick working for VFAT already.  What
are my chances here?
