For testing purposes it is frequently useful to be able to format a
plain file as certain file-system and then mount it. All of the
standard mkfs* utilities adhere to that, like mkext*, mkexfat, etc.
Make sure mkntfs works same way too.

Previously the creation time was filled in with seconds (obtained using
time(NULL)) but the microsecond part was left zeroed. Fixed by using
gettimeofday when available.
From Windows 10 Creators edition, the cluster size limit has been
extended to 2MB. This has implied redefining the boot sector field
"sectors_per_cluster" so that values greater than 128 can be recorded.
For 64-bit (e.g. x86_64) Linux the 64-bit wide types resolve to long,
not long long as is the case in 32-bit (e.g. i386) Linux. So we need an
explicit cast to long long for 64-bit types since the format string must
specify the 'll' modifier in order to print 64-bit values.
In an NTFS boot sector, the first sector of the partition is limited to
32 bits and it may overflow on large disks. This field is only used for
booting on the partition and it is ignored by ntfs-3g, but the warning
in mkntfs mislead users, so improve it.
The ntfsprogs used to return failure when option --version or --help
was used, and this has triggered complains from distribution packagers
who use these options in packaging scripts.
With this patch, success is returned (same behavior as gcc).
Since Windows 8 a new stream is added to the upper case file to record
a CRC of the upper case data. This way, if the file does not match the
one defined on the current Windows system, chkdsk can tell whether the
file is damaged or just out of date, and an error is only displayed if
the file is damaged.
The $Info data has been checked to be ignored by Windows XP, Windows
Vista and Windows 7. If not present, chkdsk for Windows 8 complains about
a wrong upper case file.
The named attributes sizes were wrongly computed in mkntfs. This did not
lead to visible errors so far owing to 8-byte alignments in attribute
records (current names $SDS, $R, $O, etc).
When the cluster size is bigger than the index block size, the index
block size unit is 512 (not the sector size) instead of the cluster size.
The partitions formatted by mkntfs and used by ntfs-3g were not
interoperable with Windows when the cluster size is bigger than 4K
and the sector size is not 512.
The recorded allocated size depends on unnamed data being non resident,
which depends on MFT record size, hence on sector size.
The allocated size was wrong for $AttrDef when sector size is 4K bytes
(chkdsk silently fixes it).
descriptor attributes (but not yet the security descriptors stored in
$Secure). (Anton)
- libntfs: Rewrite ntfs_upcase_table_build() to generate a Vista
compatible upcase table ($UpCase). (Anton)
- mkntfs: Remove own generation of upcase table, i.e. delete
ntfsprogs/upcase.[ch] and use ntfs_upcase_table_build() supplied by
libntfs. (Anton)
- mkntfs: As announced, remove the deprecated support for creation of
NTFS 1.2/3.0 volumes. We now create NTFS 3.1 volumes only. (Anton)
- mkntfs: Remove lots of unused/unneeded debugging code. (Anton)
