[PATCH] NTFS error messages: replace static char pointers by staticchar arrays

From: Dmitri Vorobiev
Date: Mon Oct 08 2007 - 17:55:59 EST


Hi,

The patch below contains a small code clean-up for the NTFS driver: all
static char pointers to error message strings have been replaced by static char arrays.

Please apply if you like it.
