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.
one in the ERROR line because several front-ends show only this line, nothing
else, which greatly confused many users what's going on and what to do next.
increases the compressed image sizes by only 0.3-0.8% but ntfsclone creates
now the exact same metadata images as mkntfs, which fact can be used for QA.
by mkntfs on little and big endian machines are identical (except for the
volume serial number - probably ought to standardize that when using the -T
switch).
- 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)
Support FUSE versions from 2.3.0 to 2.5.1 under Linux and 2.5.X under FreeBSD.
Warning tested only under FUSE-2.4.1. Will test under FUSE-2.5.1 at home.
