(-; [A little omission of mine results in not getting the string "NTFS: " printed at the beginning of the error message. )-: Fixed in my tree and will be in next patch release.] Peter, Could you tell me whether on startup (or whenever you mount the NTFS volume) it doesn't give a message but saying: "Trying to open system file 9!" or "Opening system file 9!". If you only get the _clear_inode message that would be bad, but if you get a corresponding "Trying to open..." message, then just ignore them for the moment. - This is part of stage one of a cleanup in ntfs system file handling and this is just a message telling you someone is trying to close a system file which hasn't been opened yet, which should indeed never happen. - This will disappear with my next update to ntfs which completes the system file cleanup stuff. If you only get the _clear_inode message this is very bad and I would like to know more... but I suspect you will find the matching message.
