Some correction to the bug report from the NTFS-3G developers:

1. It is not true that "Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 unable to access devices touched by ntfs-3g versions prior to 2010.1.16". Just try and you will see that all of them will see the NTFS partition fine. The fact is that there is a slight chance in a very special case that this will happen. How often? Perhaps once in 10 million cases.

2. It is not true that NTFS-3G created volumes can not be accessed on Windows. NTFS-3G doesn't create NTFS volumes, it's mkntfs from the ntfsprogs package which does. Nevertheless we are not aware that mkntfs has any problem you mention.
