As stated in another response, NTFS write support is highly experimental
presently. In 2.5 (and the 2.4 backports), NextGen NTFS support is
purportedly much more solid in such a fashion that read support is quite
good, and write support won't BUG_ON() the kernel ;-)

(I assume by "using NTFS partitions in a Red Hat installation" you mean
you plan to access NTFS partitions in a production environment, not "I
mean to base my / partition on NTFS" ;-)
