It's in the readme. However, you're right, it doesn't say "after running any of these
utilities." It says:
NtfsFix - Attempt to fix an NTFS partition that has been damaged by the old
Linux NTFS driver. Note that you should run it every time after you have used
the old Linux NTFS driver to write to an NTFS partition to prevent massive data
corruption from happening when Windows mounts the partition.
IMPORTANT: Run this only *after* unmounting the partition in Linux but *before*
rebooting into Windows NT/2000 or you *will* suffer! - You have been warned!
See man 8 ntfsfix for details.
Maybe NTFS write support in Linux has gotten as safe as houses; I don't know. I don't
mess with the crap because I don't need to. All I need is to back up and restore
partitions and READ ntfs. Which is why in my world I'd rather have just ntsclone and
not the rest of it.
If you disagree, just bear in mind this is my opinion. Thanks.
