i've been googling like crazy to read about users' experience mounting ntfs read-only on OBSD, but am not having much luck. being mostly ignorant myself, i'm wondering about the statement of ntfs being "reasonably safe" to mount read-only. i have a 1tb ntfs drive that i'd like to back up to my OBSD server from a (future) OBSD desktop. if something did happen, what's most likely? loss of data on the ntfs drive? corruption of data on the ntfs drive? loss or corruption of data on another drive? i know that last one sounds wacky, but since i'm still fairly ignorant about such stuff i have to assume murphy's law.
