You say it does not work and it does work, but are not specific about 
the errors seen, conditions, or what is being tested.

I would assume you are referring to the functionality of the  module or 
the ability to insert it, but without more information I can't answer 
that it does or does not make sense.  I do not use anything right now 
that requires the 8k stacks nor do I presently need access to ntfs on my 
linux boxes so have not tested it.  I was only commenting that the ntfs 
module can eliminate the need for recompiling.  

I do know that the modules usually have to match the kernel so you may 
need a  module compiled for your kernel in order to use ntfs with it.
