I think ntfsprogs (in the ports tree) does everything in userland, and they
claim to have stable write support. The homepage is here:

They also have some documentation there.

They also have some docs. Not very readable but seems to have
quite a few details. Time to do some reading.


My opinion is that from-scratch implementation is not possible within
reasonable period of time. I'd suggest to try to port captive ntfs + fuse
framework or (oh my! I did not tell you that) extend ndisulator so that it
is possible to load ntfs.sys directly into the kernel.

Filesystems are one of those things that are very, very, very tightly
coupled with the virtual memory system. They are basically the center
of the universe for Unix-like kernels. Anyone who succeeds at making
a shim layer for NT filesystem modules likely has a very exciting career
ahead of them in turning lead to gold, developing perpetual motion machines, and solving world peace (yummmm.... whirled peas.....)
