Big write is ok now, thanks. NTFS-3G in-memory write performance seems to 
be 6x better on a T9300 and quick tests seem to show that it's at least as 
fast as ext3 in-memory writes (but this needs more testing, etc).

However the max write size seems to be limited to 128kB. Is this 
intentional? If yes then
