Assume there is none. You can write to NTFS but only within an existing
file so cannot extend or shrink a file.

I spoke to Anton, one of the NTFS people at the Linux Expo, the support
will probably be there one day but for now it is good for registry
hacking on boot disk password fixing distros for example, but is not a
useful way of writing to your Microsoft filesystem using Linux.

Cheers,

Jon.
