 Replying to [comment:6 martin.langhoff]:
 > Did we ever support NTFS disks? Maybe we should stay away from this can
 of worms...

 most 500+gb external hdds and all 2+tb or 4kb sector disks come formated
 with ntfs due to vfat limitations so do we want to open the associated
 support can of worms if we don't?
