Renamed ntfstools to ntfsprogs everywhere.
|
|
|
|
Added new utility ntfslabel by Matthew Fanto. See man 8 ntfslabel for details.
|
|
|
|

|
|
more details.

|
|
|
Added new utility ntfsresize by Szakacsits Szabolcs. See man 8 ntfsresize for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
The API has been fully reworked and the library mostly rewritten since the
|
|
last release (1.6.0). It should now offer a much more solid and stable basis
|
|
for development of software accessing NTFS volumes. All utilities have been
|
|
ported to the new API.

==========
|
|
|
|
linux-ntfs should now compile and work on all architectures.
|
|
|
|
Added two options to mkntfs. One to enable compression on the volume and one
|
|
to disable content indexing. See man 8 mkntfs for details.
|
|
|
|
Changed version numbers of mkntfs and ntfsfix to match linux-ntfs release.
|
|
|
|
ntfsfix had two minor bugs fixed. This also should remove the compilation
|
|
warnings in ntfsfix.c on 64-bit-pointer-size architectures.
|
|
|
|
mkntfs now should be truly bug free.
|
|
|
|
ntfs_mount syntax changed to accept a read-only flag.
|
|
|
|
mkntfs now allows creation of small NTFS volumes (current minimum size is one
|
|
mega byte). This allows placing NTFS on a floppy disk for example.
|
|
|
|
mkntfs now correctly handles directories on volumes with large clusters.
|
|
|
|
ntfsfix now works on Windows XP NTFS volumes (NTFS 3.1).
|
|
|
|
Reenabled shared library generation and use.
|
|
|
|
ntfsfix now has a man page, too. Donated by David Martínez Moreno.
|
|
|
|
mkntfs now uses correct defaults for small partitions on devices with
|
|
non-standard sector sizes.
|
|
|
|
mkntfs now in sbin not bin and it got some bugs fixed.
|
|
|
|
Gcc 2.96 or above is required to compile.
|
|
|
|
Dropped ldm, ntfsdump_logfile and dumplog from linux-ntfs distribution. ldm will
|
|
reappear in a different package as ldminfo (probably linux-ldm) while the dump
|
|
tools are only useful to us developers to play with they don't actually do
|
|
anything useful (and these remain in CVS for developer (ab)use).
|
|
|
|
We now have mkntfs. Yey! And it even has a man page. So go read it. (-8
|
|
|
|
Disable shared library building by default as it breaks on some systems. (No
|
|
idea why. If any one can figure it out and tell me what the problem/fix is I
|
|
would be thankful.)
|
|
|
|
libntfs and hence ntfsfix still don't support attribute lists.
|
|
|
|
Updated ntfsdump_logfile to really dump the whole logfile with all the current
|
|
knowledge about the structures. Also added dumplog which does the same but
|
|
operates on a file rather than a partition, i.e. it can operate on a live
|
|
mounted NTFS partition under linux when the -o show_sys_files was used on mount.
|
|
(Note this mount option first appeared in Linux kernel 2.4.4-ac18.)
