<div>I think the Setup of a seperate data partition would be close to ideal, but I still wouldn't recommend it. The fs-driver corrupted my linux partition once by a mere install (without being able to tell it yet what and what not to mound). I would go for the ntfs-3g support since it's reliable since this summer. The problem with the fs-driver is also that it doesn't support journaling (so basically it's an ext2 driver which is compatible with ext3). I think that you would have less chance of data corruption with ntfs-3g than with fs-driver. (assuming that the data partition would also contain valuable information)
