Yes. The API for writing to NTFS is very twitchy from what I have been
told. The journelling and other parts can be dependant on what release
of the NTFS drivers were used.. Microsoft 'knows' all this and so a
later driver can deal with any changes between say NT-3.5.1, NT-4.0
and NT-5.x but it has to be rediscovered each time. And then there
seem to be midlevel changes to writing the data that occur. From what
I remember there are people who have read/write working perfectly on
their systems.. but it doesnt work on an identical build later on.
