Sent reply direct to Austin. This may be outside of Wine's control due to flaky NTFS support by some Linux distributions.

No, it's unrelated.
Previously, we reported the file system type to be NTFS for hard disk mounts. Now we report the file system to be UNIXFS, because, e.g., the .Net 2.0 installer tries to do NTFS specific stuff on the disk, and with UNIXFS (which it doesn't recognize), it doesn't. The problem is some other apps DEPEND on seeing NTFS to work, e.g., Total War (downloading the demo now to test), and in the case of this bug, DVD Shrink. It's not using any NTFS specific features, and it's not using a 'real' NTFS mount through NTFS-3G.
