Global replacement of __[su]{8,16,32,64} with [su]{8,16,32,64} and layout.h define it.

2002/04/22 10:34:31-00:00 !antona
Attribute list support (merging done, part 2, some stuff still incomplete). mkntfs ntfs volume creation. See the changelog...

2002/04/20 23:09:42-00:00 !antona
Port attribute lookup functions with attribute list support from ntfs tng driver. Port/reimplement extent mft record handling code as well. Rename out all dollar signs from type names and constants. Adapt all callers to new API. Note mkntfs is currently broken due to some needed work.

2002/04/20 01:53:02-00:00 !antona
Rename mft code adding ntfs_ prefix. Change all return values to zero on success. Thanks to mattjf for pointing out the inconsistencies.

2002/04/19 21:09:55-00:00 !antona
Finished provisional inode.c::ntfs_{open,close}_inode() functions. Also, started defining API provided by attrib.[ch], so far only done search context related stuff.

2001/04/02 02:04:37-00:00 !antona
Everything compiles again! Yey! (Don't know about working though, haven't tried
it... So be careful...)
The definitely final find_{first_}attr() functions are in place. Currently
still no support for attribute lists.
The two new _RE files contain the C-fied and more or less (more less than more
actually) cleaned up functions from the ntfs driver. Once they are cleaned
up (find_attr() is already completed but I left it in the _RE files for future
reference/educational value) and modified to suit my ideas of how they should
work, which are not quite the same as the driver way, they will make it into
attrib.[ch].
If anyone gives the new code a try, I would be interested in whether it worked
or not... (-;

grr. MDK8.1 modified loads of stuff. Put it back with RH7.2

2002/04/24 23:47:42-00:00 !antona
Hammer out the API for run list merging. Add calls for low level (using raw run lists and ATTR_RECORDs as parameters) run list merging, mappaing pairs decompression, and vcn to lcn conversion as well as high level (using ntfs_attr as parameter) calls for run list mapping and vcn to lcn conversion.

Linux-NTFS 1.0.0-pre-1 - FEATURE FREEZE
=======================================
mkntfs complete with option parsing and more cool things.
mkntfs man page complete.
info files updated.

TODO Before 1.0.0 final:

- Test mkntfs options & mkntfs itself.
- Test tar ball generation.
- Test rpm generation.

2001/06/10 18:30:17-00:00 !antona
Preparations for the 0.1.0 release. Updating documentation and information.
Updating rpm generation and added mkntfs man page which currently is not
accurate as it shows all the mke2fs options in it while mkntfs doesn't actually
accept any options except for device at all but it is a good starting point.

2001/06/01 02:07:25-00:00 !antona
It has been a long time since last commit. At moment have done a lot of work
on mkntfs but also at the moment ntfsfix and ntfsdump_logfile and libntfs are
broken. Basically only mkntfs works and that is not complete either.

A little (potential) fix or better call it bug prevention and some cleanup.

2002/07/08 23:27:15-00:00 !flatcap

2002/07/06 20:07:59-00:00 !antona
New API for compressing run lists into mapping pairs arrays and adapt mkntfs to that API. Addition of ntfs_walk_attrs().

2002/07/05 21:15:31-00:00 !uid28698
- Enable enumeration of attributes using ntfs_lookup_attr() which is
  requested by passing a type of AT_UNUSED (or simply zero) to
  ntfs_lookup_attr(). (Based on initial patch by Szakacsits Szabolcs.)
- Fix two minor buglets in ntfs_find_external_attr() where we would
  continue the search when we detect a mismatched type and/or name
  instead of aborting and returning error EIO to flag the corruption.

2001/04/12 22:37:21-00:00 !antona
Add a description and structure for holding attributes in memory. No code to
use it yet but it's a start. The design is geared with the ideas of making
searching for attributes and using/implementing the search context as easy as
possible, integrating the attributes into their mft_entries and maintining a
fast sync volume path.
Comments welcome.

Header file reorganisation so that it compiles.

2001/04/08 03:02:55-00:00 !antona

User space conversion of locking complete. I settled for using simple spinlocks
and atomic variables and instead of deadlocking/livelocking when using
spin_lock(), use spin_trylock() in a while letting go of the cpu between each
call and making a maximum of 100 iterations (or we return EDEADLK error code).

This is not the most efficient way, especially as can't have multiple readers
but it is the simplest way to go about things.

Should now have (almost) all required helper functions for dealing with mft
entries implemented.

Now need the file handling and then convert the whole project to use the new
code and then can finally get back to work on attribute searching...

2001/04/05 20:14:45-00:00 !antona
Commit of current state of development including locking a la kernel.
This doesn't work on user space (semaphores don't work).
Just want to have it committed. Will take out locking / modify it where
necessary to use pthreads ASAP.

up (find_attr() is already completed but I left it in the _RE files for future
reference/educational value) and modified to suit my ideas of how they should
work, which are not quite the same as the driver way, they will make it into
attrib.[ch].
If anyone gives the new code a try, I would be interested in whether it worked

2002/06/01 00:41:45-00:00 !antona
huge update!

2002/04/29 01:53:55-00:00 !antona
Loads of stuff. Improvements, start on attr pread and attr mst_pread. Write to follow. ntfslabel cleanup and extensions. libntfs cleanups, fixes, etc.

2002/04/27 19:49:09-00:00 !antona
Update library, new APIs ntfs_attr_find_vcn(), misc fixes and cleanups, make all the utilities compile, fix bugs I noticed in ntfslabel and it now works properly.

2002/04/25 08:22:14-00:00 !antona
Can't type..

2002/04/25 08:19:32-00:00 !antona
Improve function description.

2002/04/23 23:27:33-00:00 !antona
Fixup the force option in mkntfs.c. Change the ntfs_check_if_mounted so it works on system not implementing {set,get,end}mntent, too. Also make it more powerful in telling us not only if something is mounted but also if it is the fs root and if it is read-only.

2002/04/23 08:37:07-00:00 !antona
Fix minor buglet in volume.c and tidy up white space.

2002/04/23 08:29:13-00:00 !mattjf
Minor change to ntfs_check_if_mounted() description.

2002/04/23 08:25:41-00:00 !mattjf
Code cleanup.
Removed check_mount() and added a generic ntfs_check_if_mounted()
 function to the library
Better error checking

2002/04/22 10:34:31-00:00 !antona
Attribute list support (merging done, part 2, some stuff still incomplete). mkntfs ntfs volume creation. See the changelog...

2002/04/20 23:09:43-00:00 !antona
Port attribute lookup functions with attribute list support from ntfs tng driver. Port/reimplement extent mft record handling code as well. Rename out all dollar signs from type names and constants. Adapt all callers to new API. Note mkntfs is currently broken due to some needed work.

2002/04/20 01:53:02-00:00 !antona
Rename mft code adding ntfs_ prefix. Change all return values to zero on success. Thanks to mattjf for pointing out the inconsistencies.

2002/04/19 21:09:55-00:00 !antona
Finished provisional inode.c::ntfs_{open,close}_inode() functions. Also, started defining API provided by attrib.[ch], so far only done search context related stuff.

2002/04/16 20:56:01-00:00 !antona
Add new API unistr.[ch]: ntfs_ucstombs() and make ntfslabel use it

2002/04/16 15:34:32-00:00 !antona
Fix the library...

2002/04/16 12:13:53-00:00 !antona
New API function mft.[ch]::read_file_record(). Also some cleanups.

2002/04/15 20:04:28-00:00 !antona
Fix all compiler warnings that came up with -Wall. Enabled -Wall for ./configure --enable-debug everywhere. Fix a few bugs in mkntfs that came up in the warnings (just error code paths, nothing major).

2002/04/15 19:02:41-00:00 !antona
Really fix the library and mkntfs while at it.

2002/04/15 18:54:07-00:00 !antona
Update library for the new API.

2002/04/15 00:42:08-00:00 !antona
Big rewrite of disk_io.c. Now should have stable API for low level disk access. Move all mft record related stuff from disk_io.c to mft.c.

2002/04/14 14:08:30-00:00 !antona
Cleanup library code. Throw away unused stuff.

2002/04/12 15:23:47-00:00 !antona
Cleanup ntfslabel, write a man page for it, integrate it all in the distribution properly, silence output from ntfs_mount() (conditional on running configure with --enable-debug), update all docs accordingly. Add Rich and Matt to AUTHORS.

2002/04/11 23:10:59-00:00 !flatcap
Matt Fanto's changes to retrieve the volume name and a utility to print it

2001/12/06 01:14:52-00:00 !antona
Added mount flags to ntfs_mount and adapted utilities to new mount syntax.

2001/06/10 15:54:20-00:00 !antona
Linux-NTFS 0.1.0-pre1
=====================
-fixed up ntfsfix and ntfsdump_logfile
-corrected stuff
-several bug fixes
-fixed (hopefully) final bug with mkntfs (sd generator was wrong due to brain'o)
-mkntfs now completed, only need to add a few command line options before first
public release.
-rpm generation file updated and autostrip modified to make use of install-stip
make target instead of stripping manually
-made bootsector check verbosity during mount dependent on --enable-debug
configure option.

2001/06/01 02:07:26-00:00 !antona
It has been a long time since last commit. At moment have done a lot of work
on mkntfs but also at the moment ntfsfix and ntfsdump_logfile and libntfs are
broken. Basically only mkntfs works and that is not complete either.

2001/04/11 14:29:12-00:00 !antona
Almost fixed compilaton. Remember to declare a struct type with
struct NAME { declaration }; rather than the bogus struct { declaration NAME };
then can use typedef NAME othername; on a forward declaration of NAME
(struct NAME;) and all is fine...

2001/04/11 11:49:16-00:00 !antona

Header file reorganisation so that it compiles.

2001/04/10 23:37:19-00:00 !antona
Ok, ntfsd was a mistake for userspace. It increases complexity no end while
not giving us much functionality. Lets get it working and then worry about the
kernel. - As it was the idea originally anyway, so this is just a return on the
right track. (-8

We keep the timer and signal handler but the only thing we do is to set a bool
flag (ntfs_need_sync) and we will just check this in appropriate places and
if it is true we call ntfs_sync_volumes() which sets it back to false. This
means no more locking at all of any description and no need to worry about the
signal handler interrupting things in bad ways and/or at bad times in the main
code.

2001/04/09 00:05:37-00:00 !antona
More or less finished file handling. (Probably some useful functions are
still missing but they will be implemented as need arises.)

One thing that is stupid at the moment is we don't limit the amount of
cached mft_records so if you were to load loads the machine would eventually
run out of memory... Can't happen with files as they are limited to 1000,
unless you are short of memory. (Hard limit at the moment, set in ntfs_mount().
Maybe ntfsd should be monitoring memory usage and be throwing out unused cache
entries and closed_files? That would mean to have locking everywhere, though.)

Still missing: - Convert old code to use new stuff. - Add non-resident
attributes somewhere. Either into the mft_entry structure or into the
ntfs_file structure, but which? At the moment I tend to mft_entry so they can
be synced together with the entries by ntfsd.

2001/04/08 03:02:55-00:00 !antona
Added cvs Id header.

2001/04/08 01:58:29-00:00 !antona
User space conversion of locking complete. I settled for using simple spinlocks
and atomic variables and instead of deadlocking/livelocking when using
spin_lock(), use spin_trylock() in a while letting go of the cpu between each
call and making a maximum of 100 iterations (or we return EDEADLK error code).

This is not the most efficient way, especially as can't have multiple readers
but it is the simplest way to go about things.

Should now have (almost) all required helper functions for dealing with mft
entries implemented.

Now need the file handling and then convert the whole project to use the new
code and then can finally get back to work on attribute searching...

2001/04/05 20:14:45-00:00 !antona
Commit of current state of development including locking a la kernel.
This doesn't work on user space (semaphores don't work).
Just want to have it committed. Will take out locking / modify it where
necessary to use pthreads ASAP.

2001/04/02 02:04:37-00:00 !antona
Everything compiles again! Yey! (Don't know about working though, haven't tried
it... So be careful...)
The definitely final find_{first_}attr() functions are in place. Currently
still no support for attribute lists.
The two new _RE files contain the C-fied and more or less (more less than more
actually) cleaned up functions from the ntfs driver. Once they are cleaned
up (find_attr() is already completed but I left it in the _RE files for future
reference/educational value) and modified to suit my ideas of how they should
work, which are not quite the same as the driver way, they will make it into
attrib.[ch].
If anyone gives the new code a try, I would be interested in whether it worked
or not... (-;

2001/03/31 15:27:34-00:00 !antona
Added new name comparison function.

2001/03/06 02:10:55-00:00 !antona

2001/03/02 15:05:54-00:00 !antona
Commit latest library state. !!!NOTE!!! This breaks everything!!! I'm in the
middle of rewritting the find_attribute stuff in attrib.c at the moment.

2001/01/30 12:55:21-00:00 !antona
Fixed the compilation issues.

2001/01/25 22:25:43-00:00 !antona
