NTFS-3G is a read/write NTFS driver. NTFS-3G is
available for over 60 Linux distributions,
including most major ones. Moreover, it has been
ported to other operating systems like FreeBSD,
BeOS, Haiku, and Mac OS X, to big-endian and
64-bit computer architectures, and to CPUs like
AMD64, ARM, and MIPS.

Changes:
The free disk space calculation was extremely CPU intensive during write activity. This could reduce write performance severely, especially for huge volumes if a file manager, desktop applet, or other application regularly polled for disk space usage. Now the calculation is constant time, around only 10 microseconds on a typical desktop system, and it's completely independent of the volume size.
