Lol, I guess you're right smile.gif

I just trust Linux drivers more than Windows drivers, but when they're all open-source I guess it doesn't matter *shrug*

ahh I thought you were implying that ntfs-3g wasn't updating enough, I wasn't trying to be snoody there just saying that it's still plenty active compared to whatever you said earlier.

[edit] Your right, most driver updates should generally be on security. I would find it a bit foul if updates were done for optimizations and even worse stability. (err not that you said security, but I doubt people would disagree on security updates being a good frequent as security is accepted as a good thing)

As long as the security updates aren't changing the way a function works (eg checking for string termination as opposed to changing the maths), then I absolutely agree with you.

However -and I might be incredibly naive here- but I can't really think of how a file system driver could be exploited in such a way as to cause a security breach. The OS ABIs are a different matter, but, for the most part, I'd have expected an fs driver to be pretty transparent to the OS. That's not to say hacking one is impossible, but I'm drawing a blank about how it would be done.
