I think your question is whether the kernel is able to handle FAT32
and NTFS perfectly, or as least as well as MS Windows does. Yes, I
would be able to trust it for my home computers but for mission
critical servers, no, I would not use it. Devising the technology used
for accessing NTFS is a catch up game as MS keeps on updating it.
