Looking at the changelog, I found that the $MFTMirr garbage issue has been solved. 

 Major changes:

    -  fix: file creation at disk-full may lead to i/o errors
    -  fix: statistic of inodes and free inodes was incorrect (df -i)
    -  fix: the 'umask' option wasn't always parsed as an octal number
    -  fix: "too long filename" handling wasn't posix compliant
    -  fix: mount failed if $MFTMirr had unused garbage at the file end


Whoaaaa. Let’s try to compile the latest source once more and check how it is doing now.

[geek@toni ntfs-3g-20070920-BETA]$ sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /mnt/flashdisk/
Volume is scheduled for check.
Please boot into Windows TWICE, or use the ‘force’ mount option.
[geek@toni ntfs-3g-20070920-BETA]$ sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /mnt/flashdisk/ -o force
WARNING: Dirty volume mount was forced by the ‘force’ mount option.
sh: modprobe: command not found
[geek@toni ntfs-3g-20070920-BETA]$ export PATH=$PATH:/sbin/
[geek@toni ntfs-3g-20070920-BETA]$ sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /mnt/flashdisk/ -o force
Error opening partition device: Device or resource busy
Failed to startup volume: Device or resource busy
Failed to mount ‘/dev/sda6′: Device or resource busy
Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the ‘fuser’ command.

Okay, let’s touch something …

[geek@toni ntfs-3g-20070920-BETA]$ touch /mnt/flashdisk/foo
[geek@toni ntfs-3g-20070920-BETA]$ ls /mnt/flashdisk/foo -l
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Sep 30 00:01 /mnt/flashdisk/foo

W00t!! Read write on ntfs for real!!! now i can ditch some files, regain some space and breath freely on my C: partition. Darn, I have too much fun tonite. Yay!!
