Clearing the bad cluster list was done by truncating $BadClus:$Bad,
this turned out not to be reliable because chkdsk does not adjust
the size of $BadClus:$Bad when declaring a cluster bad.
Under some rare and obscure circumstances probably unrelated to ntfs-3g,
a part of the runlist of MFT describes its own location, therefore
it cannot be loaded. This patch relocates the MFT extent to inode 15
to fix this. Note : chkdsk cannot fix it and destroys all the files.
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.
libntfs (unlike libntfs-3g) sets the volume dirty bit automatically on ntfs_mount (if not already set) and also automatically clears the volume dirty bit on ntfs_umount (if it was not already set before mount). The 'WasDirty' flag is set to indicate that the volume was already dirty when it was mounted, so setting it means bypassing the 'clear dirty flag' behaviour on unmount (it does not mean 'set dirty flag on unmount').
NVolSetWasDirty is accordingly replaced with the actions that were intended:
- If the intention was to leave the dirty bit set on unmount, we explicitly set the bit if it is not already set.
- If the intention was to simply update the 'WasDirty' bit to be consistent with earlier changes, we just comment out the statement.
This is not a perfect conversion. The VOLUME_IS_DIRTY flag reflects the _current_ state of the volume dirty bit and not the mount-time state.
However, since libntfs-3g (as opposed to libntfs) does not automatically change the dirty bit on mount and unmount (only when ntfs_volume_write_flags is called explicitly), and these tests are done directly after a mount (ntfsclone.c, ntfscp.c, ntfsresize.c, ntfswipe.c, utils.c) or when the volume is in an appropriate state (ntfsfix.c), the result will be the same.
unused, invalid mft records which are the same in both $MFT and
$MFTMirr. Ported from kernel driver 2.1.27 release and aplied both
to libntfs/volume.c mount related code and to ntfsprogs/ntfsfix.c's
fixup code. (Anton)
volume.[hc]::ntfs_libntfs_version() which returns a pointer to a
static const string of the libntfs verion, i.e. at the moment this is
"8.0.0". This required moving the version specifications from
libntfs/Makefile.am to configure.ac. This should hopefully have the
sideeffect that I will remember to increment it when incrementing the
ntfsprogs version number when making a release given the two are
right under one another. (Anton)
- Change ALL utilities to display the libntfs version they are running
on. This should make debugging easier in the case that people are
running mismatched utilities/library. (Anton)
