Well, depends on your definition of "works".

AFAIK linux does not expose the NFTS permission system fully, because
they are very different and there is no 1:1 mapping between them.  So
while the *data* may be copied over, the permissions will likely only be
copied as far as how the linux filesystem layer sees them, and may not
be preserved 100%.

There are NTFS tools afaik though, (ntfsclone).  Since I don't actually
use NTFS for anything, someone else may better be able to assist.
