After the '--enable-extras' patch, EXTRA_PROGRAMS and bin_PROGRAMS were both defined when ENABLE_EXTRAS was enabled.
This created a conflict, where at least automake 1.10 attempted to emit targets for the binaries twice, resulting in failure when running 'autogen.sh'.
Conflict was resolved by defining the names of the binaries in a non-reserved variable EXTRA_PROGRAM_NAMES, which is then included either in EXTRA_PROGRAMS or bin_PROGRAMS but never in both.
The binaries 'ntfs-3g', 'lowntfs-3g', 'ntfs-3g.probe' 'ntfs-3g.usermap' and 'ntfs-3g.secaudit' will not be built when this option is passed to 'configure'.
When specifying both '--disable-ntfsprogs' and '--disable-ntfs-3g', only libntfs-3g will be built (no executable binaries).
For some reason, when the monted device is "/dev/mapper/*", a record
in the form "/dev/dm-*" ends up in /etc/mtab and the device cannot be
unmounted.
The reason is unclear, the /dev/mapper name is not a symlink, and the
function doing the name change is not known. No detailed feedback from
the users having met the issue.
The patch changes the name back to the /dev/mapper name after realpath()
is called, and, if there is an actual change, both the name passed to
ntfs-3g and the one passed to fuse and mount are logged in the hope
of getting a clue about what is happening.
But ntfs-3g is probably not the right place for a fix.
When ignore_case is set, the file names are returned lower-case in
readdir() in order to make file name completions possible. This patch
does the same for junction points to avoid directory locks when used
with non-matching names.
When the normal boot sector is not usable, ntfsfix tries to use the last
sector as a boot sector replacement. This implies getting the sector size
and reading both full-sized boot sectors.
When creating a partition image, ntfsclone write an extra byte to
describe each cluster, this causes two unneeded ntfs-3g calls per cluster,
and inefficiency when imaging to ntfs.
In rare situations there is not enough space in the base inode entry
to make an index non resident. The index has to be moved to an extent
first. This happens when not using permissions and inserting a file
whose name has 60 chars into a directory whose name has 184 chars.
