This commit addresses issues where little-endian variables are emitted
raw to a log or output stream which is to be interpreted by the user.
Outputting data in non-native endianness can cause confusion for anybody
attempting to debug issues with a file system.
The new compression formats used by Windows 10 uses reparse data, and
a new reparse tag which it is useful to define even though these formats
is not yet supported by ntfs-3g.
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).
The summary of 'runcount.runs' and 'runcount.fragments' was displayed in
non-verbose mode. However these variables are not updated in non-verbose
mode, so they would always be 0.
We now only display this summary in verbose mode.
The MS_* flags originated from system constants. However the flags
passed to ntfs_mount were really unrelated to the system constants and
many new MS_* flags had to be introduced as different features were
added to the library. Those flags had no counterparts in any system
APIs, so using the same naming scheme is inappropriate.
Instead, let's namespace these flags similarly to what has already been
done in ntfsprogs/libntfs earlier. This avoids any possible conflicts
with system constants.
The values of the flags themselves are kept the same as earlier, so
backward compatibility is retained.
The variable 'flags' was modified along the way and did not contain the
original flags at the end as assumed by the last printout. Fixed by
storing the original state of the flags in a temporary const variable.
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.
Note: The NTFS_MNT_FORCE, in addition to what MS_RECOVER does, also bypasses the check for the 'dirty' bit in libntfs' ntfs_mount.
However, this check does not exist in libntfs-3g (libntfs-3g will not check or change the dirty bit, being confident that it can handle volumes marked as 'dirty'), so in essence the same behaviour is achieved with MS_RECOVER.
Add new API ntfs_attr_get_name - returns pointer to unicode name of attribute.
TODO: I believe we have several such local helpers in ntfsprogs and libntfs.
Find and replace them with this one.
(This follows several patches where we kept switching things from decimal
to hex to decimal because different people apparently use different number
systems in their heads. I am on the hex front myself so I added hex output
which was taken out recently by Szaka so he probably is on the dec front...
In any case having both should make us all happy...)
