Thanks for you quick reply Szaka !

Maybe I'm going to give you a wrong answer, but I've always found that ntfs-3g is more cpu-consuming than the kernel driver (not considering only the write operations, I also find the directory listings sluggish). And I've always thought this difference occurs because of the kernel mode/userspace difference.

However, with the appearance of more and more fuse-based FS, I imagine it's not the case anymore ?

You implied in your message that you can have data corruption using the kernel driver. Could you please detail ? Is this the case even in 'ro' mode ?
