So far the current NTFS code worked fine with Longhorn/Vista releases. WinFS and TxFS (transactional NTFS) are on top of current NTFS and MS engineers claim that they work hard to avoid on-disk NTFS format changes. > > I tried the driver in 2.6.13, and it complains about these > > $LogFile states, and ntfscp refuses to work. This happens probably due to the recent, strict $LogFile check changes. Several people reported these and Anton is investigating it. > > If you're unaware of the problem, I'm happy to help debug it.

The latest ntfsprogs CVS has also these changes and every tool should work fine with Vista (ntfscp, ntfsresize, ntfsundelete, ntfsclone, etc).
