    It's a myth, this is why I also mentioned it before. It took me about one
    month in my limited free time to go through the current, public NTFS docs
    and sources and write ntfsresize and fix/help to fix all known problems in
    the version 2 NTFS driver (what most distros ship).

    Anton Altaparmakov, the driver maintainer, says, the problem [to implement
    _full_ write support] is the lack of time, not lack of public knowledge.

    But don't believe us [linux-ntfs developers], just think it over. If you
    have the knowledge how to read, sure you also know who to write those
    on-disk data [there might be technologies where this is not true, but it's
    not NTFS]. However NTFS is pretty complex and write support is at least 10x
    harder to implement than read support due to e.g. carefully handling
    concurrency issues.
