< has an NTFS partition mounted normally, but has to unmount it when starting <'s shiny new Windows VM. < would like to use cifs-utils to be able to remount it as an SMB share.

It's a fair point, < does think the flashbacks didn't need to be spread out as they were, < wonders if Moffat was unsure about how to put the vault reveal in place.

< thinks at the very least they'd be better if each segment before the next flashbacks where bigger so they don't feel as scattered

< actually realizes that NTFS is in fact a really good tool, not everything from Microsoft is shit seemingly, the file system in fact supports POSIX.
< was able to set up a fake PlayOnLinux folder using symlinks pointing to his NTFS hard disk, to save the Linux Disk Space. It wasn't easy.

< can help with tons of things about it, < had so much shit happening to < on linux that < can share his experience to make solving issues feel like a breeze.

< could sort of see them working? But even then given that the next epsisode would continue on this arc it might've been better to have episodes dedicated to the particular flash back and then bring them together at one point

The thing is, < isn't sure if the vault will play a part in the next parts of this 3-parter, or if it's just more slow burn until the series finale. If it does turn out to tie into this arc, then < thinks it'd be alright. But if it's just a small part of the overall series arc, then < probably would have preferred to have waited on it.
