- ntfsclone: Redefine image format version number to be the image
format version and not the NTFS version of the imaged volume which is
totally useless. (Anton)
(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...)
attribute completely and index entry (filename) completely and all in
correct order. Essential for hunting bugs in directory operations
code... (Anton)
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)
calling strtoll(). This automagically allows specification of
numbers in hex (and octal if anyone is crazy enough to use that) in
addition to decimal numbers on the command line options to most if
not all utilities. (Anton)
index allocation attributes as well. This further decreases the
compressed metadata image size by 10-25% and more importantly it
eliminates non-interesting ntfscmp differences.
- Compiler warning fixes for gnome-vfs and fuse modules. (Anton)
- Change volume mounting (actually device opening) to happen with
O_EXCL bit set so at least on Linux no one can change the device
block size under our feet. (Anton)
- Change volume mounting and mkntfs to set the device block size to the
sector size using BLKBSZSET ioctl (Linux only). This should be
optimal for performance and should fixes the bug of not being able to
create the backup boot sector if the number of sectors on the device
is odd, the sector size is 512 bytes, and the kernel is 2.4. (Anton)
- Enforce cluster size, mft record size, and index record size to be at
least equal to the sector size and verify they are still valid and in
particular display a warning message if the volume will not be
mountable by the kernel driver (it requires mft record size and index
record size to be below or equal to the system page size which we
determine using sysconf()). (Anton)
