−[http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ NTFS-3G] only supports (partial) journaling, so unexpected crashes or power loss can leave the file system in an inconsistent state. The only way to (correctly) fix it is to boot into Windows and let NTFS replay the Journal.
+[http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ NTFS-3G] only supports partial journaling, so unexpected crashes or power loss can leave the file system in an inconsistent state. The only way to (correctly) fix it is to boot into Windows and let NTFS replay the journal; However, in most suitations ('''read:''' it is not 100% guaranteed) this is not required and the file system can be remounted without problem. In suitations where there has been heavy disc activity prior to the crash or power loss it is recommended you let Windows replay the journal before remounting with libntfs in order to prevent possible data lose and/or corruption.

−Symbolics links are supported by the NTFS filesystem and are therefore supported in libntfs; however, when libntfs opens symbolic link a it is first (transparently) resolved. The effect of this is that when you open a symbolic link you in instaid end up opening what it was linked to.

−Creation of symbolic links is still supported, however once created you cannot actually tell it exists due to the transparent link resolution.

This was a design choice and not a defect. I may change this behaviour in the future if it turns out to be troublesome.
