> I'm expecting serious bug when writing large amount of files to NTFS hard drive, shortly after memory allocation errors and system crash occurs/ Firstly, I thought, than this is bug in linux kernel itself, somewhat disk cache allocation error, but when I tested same operations on ext4 drive or using NTFS-3G module, bug is not present.

To reproduce a bug, try cloning two big Git repositories to an external NTFS drive mounted with ntfs3 module.
