start to break up the dependency loops in the header files
2002/07/02 23:47:10-00:00 !antona
Global replacement of __[su]{8,16,32,64} with [su]{8,16,32,64} and layout.h define it.
2002/06/01 00:41:45-00:00 !antona
huge update!
2002/04/27 19:49:09-00:00 !antona
Update library, new APIs ntfs_attr_find_vcn(), misc fixes and cleanups, make all the utilities compile, fix bugs I noticed in ntfslabel and it now works properly.
2002/04/20 23:09:42-00:00 !antona
Port attribute lookup functions with attribute list support from ntfs tng driver. Port/reimplement extent mft record handling code as well. Rename out all dollar signs from type names and constants. Adapt all callers to new API. Note mkntfs is currently broken due to some needed work.
2002/04/20 01:53:02-00:00 !antona
Rename mft code adding ntfs_ prefix. Change all return values to zero on success. Thanks to mattjf for pointing out the inconsistencies.
2002/04/16 12:13:53-00:00 !antona
New API function mft.[ch]::read_file_record(). Also some cleanups.
2002/04/15 20:04:25-00:00 !antona
Fix all compiler warnings that came up with -Wall. Enabled -Wall for ./configure --enable-debug everywhere. Fix a few bugs in mkntfs that came up in the warnings (just error code paths, nothing major).
2002/04/15 17:51:26-00:00 !antona
read/write_mft_record(s) are here
2002/04/15 00:45:28-00:00 !antona
Update headers to reflect changes in libntfs.
2002/04/14 13:56:45-00:00 !antona
cleanup header files.
2002/04/14 13:34:50-00:00 !antona
Throw away all unnecessary crap.
2001/12/15 05:13:08-00:00 !antona
Remove atomic ops and add compiler version check.
2001/06/01 02:07:24-00:00 !antona
It has been a long time since last commit. At moment have done a lot of work
on mkntfs but also at the moment ntfsfix and ntfsdump_logfile and libntfs are
broken. Basically only mkntfs works and that is not complete either.
2001/04/11 14:29:11-00:00 !antona
Almost fixed compilaton. Remember to declare a struct type with
struct NAME { declaration }; rather than the bogus struct { declaration NAME };
then can use typedef NAME othername; on a forward declaration of NAME
(struct NAME;) and all is fine...
2001/04/11 11:49:16-00:00 !antona
Header file reorganisation so that it compiles.
2001/04/10 23:54:25-00:00 !antona
Fixed somethings...
2001/04/10 23:37:19-00:00 !antona
Ok, ntfsd was a mistake for userspace. It increases complexity no end while
not giving us much functionality. Lets get it working and then worry about the
kernel. - As it was the idea originally anyway, so this is just a return on the
right track. (-8
We keep the timer and signal handler but the only thing we do is to set a bool
flag (ntfs_need_sync) and we will just check this in appropriate places and
if it is true we call ntfs_sync_volumes() which sets it back to false. This
means no more locking at all of any description and no need to worry about the
signal handler interrupting things in bad ways and/or at bad times in the main
code.

More or less finished file handling. (Probably some useful functions are
still missing but they will be implemented as need arises.)
One thing that is stupid at the moment is we don't limit the amount of
cached mft_records so if you were to load loads the machine would eventually
run out of memory... Can't happen with files as they are limited to 1000,
unless you are short of memory. (Hard limit at the moment, set in ntfs_mount().
Maybe ntfsd should be monitoring memory usage and be throwing out unused cache
entries and closed_files? That would mean to have locking everywhere, though.)
Still missing: - Convert old code to use new stuff. - Add non-resident
attributes somewhere. Either into the mft_entry structure or into the
ntfs_file structure, but which? At the moment I tend to mft_entry so they can
be synced together with the entries by ntfsd.
2001/04/08 01:58:29-00:00 !antona
User space conversion of locking complete. I settled for using simple spinlocks
and atomic variables and instead of deadlocking/livelocking when using
spin_lock(), use spin_trylock() in a while letting go of the cpu between each
call and making a maximum of 100 iterations (or we return EDEADLK error code).
This is not the most efficient way, especially as can't have multiple readers
but it is the simplest way to go about things.
Should now have (almost) all required helper functions for dealing with mft
entries implemented.
Now need the file handling and then convert the whole project to use the new
code and then can finally get back to work on attribute searching...
2001/04/05 20:14:45-00:00 !antona
Commit of current state of development including locking a la kernel.
This doesn't work on user space (semaphores don't work).
Just want to have it committed. Will take out locking / modify it where
necessary to use pthreads ASAP.
2001/04/03 23:38:54-00:00 !antona
Minor fix
2001/04/03 23:35:52-00:00 !antona
Few updates.
2001/04/03 22:41:30-00:00 !antona
We now have files and keep track of them on a per volume basis and same
for inodes (mft_records). At least conceptually anyway.
2001/04/02 02:04:37-00:00 !antona
Everything compiles again! Yey! (Don't know about working though, haven't tried
it... So be careful...)
The definitely final find_{first_}attr() functions are in place. Currently
still no support for attribute lists.
The two new _RE files contain the C-fied and more or less (more less than more
actually) cleaned up functions from the ntfs driver. Once they are cleaned
up (find_attr() is already completed but I left it in the _RE files for future
reference/educational value) and modified to suit my ideas of how they should
work, which are not quite the same as the driver way, they will make it into
attrib.[ch].
If anyone gives the new code a try, I would be interested in whether it worked
or not... (-;
2001/03/31 15:25:19-00:00 !antona
Added a name comparison function.
2001/03/15 23:13:11-00:00 !antona
And this one...
2001/03/05 03:15:08-00:00 !antona
Forgot a few...
2001/03/05 02:45:35-00:00 !antona
Renamed things, broke everything. Should be stabilized now in the headers.
Still reworking find attribute stuff but at least I have an idea of how I want
to do it now.
2001/03/02 15:03:56-00:00 !antona
Update to latest include files.
2001/01/30 12:55:21-00:00 !antona
Fixed the compilation issues.
2001/01/30 12:29:03-00:00 !antona
And the last move into CVS. The make files. (Note: compilation is untested
and all changes have been done without testing so if it doesn't compile at
the moment don't be too surprised.)
2001/01/28 05:49:57-00:00 !antona
More header development. AttrDef description.
2001/01/27 14:22:02-00:00 !antona
Added a logfile dumper as a new utility.
Almost finished the first ntfsfix release. (Still missingin CVS are attrib.c
for ntfslib and the makefiles to build everything.)
Fixes for nested packed structure/union typedefs as gcc doesn't automatically
nest the __attribute__ ((__packed__)), even though according to the gcc info
page it does. (Thanks to Yuri Per <yuri@acronis.com> for pointing this out.)
2001/01/24 02:13:24-00:00 !antona
Add a bunch of headers (attrib.h is work in progress).
(Logical change 1.5)

README
Linux-NTFS ========== The Linux-NTFS project aims to bring full support for the NTFS filesystem to the Linux operating system. Linux-NTFS is copyright (c) 2000-2002 Anton Altaparmakov. All of the contents of the Linux-NTFS project are free software, released under the GNU General Public License and you are welcome to redistribute them under certain conditions. All the libraries and utilities come with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details read the GNU General Public License to be found in the file COPYING in the main Linux-NTFS distribution directory. Linux-NTFS currently consists of the NTFS library (libntfs) and utilities (ntfstools). In the future it will also contain a new NTFS driver for the Linux kernel. The Linux-NTFS project is registered on Sourceforge.net. The home page for Linux-NTFS is http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ and the project page is: http://sf.net/projects/linux-ntfs/ If you would like to take part in the development of Linux-NTFS, you are invited to subscribe to the development mailing list, linux-ntfs-dev@lists.sourceforge.net. The easiest way to do this is to visit the list page on sourceforge at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-ntfs-dev If you would like to be kept up to date about new releases and other Linux-NTFS announcements, subscribe to the linux-ntfs-announce mailing list (very low volume). The easiest way to do this is to visit the list page on sourceforge at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-ntfs-announce NTFS library ============ Provides common NTFS access functions to the ntfstools and other foreign open source applications. Note, that the library is still under heavy development and doesn't include the majority of functionality yet. It only is capable of just about supporting the current ntfstools, so I wouldn't recommend using it for your own applications at this stage. NTFS utilities ============== The ntfstools will eventually include utilities for doing all required tasks to NTFS partitions. In general, just run a utility without any command line options to display the version number and usage syntax. The following utilities are so far implemented: NtfsFix - Attempt to fix an NTFS partition that has been damaged by the Linux NTFS driver. Note that you should run it every time after you have used the Linux NTFS driver to write to an NTFS partition to prevent massive data corruption from happening when Windows mounts the partition. IMPORTANT: Run this only *after* unmounting the partition in Linux but *before* rebooting into Windows NT/2000 or you *will* suffer! - You have been warned! See man 8 ntfsfix for details. mkntfs - Format a partition with the NTFS filesystem. See man 8 mkntfs for command line options. ntfslabel - Display/change the label of an NTFS partition. See man 8 ntfslabel for details. ntfsundelete - Recover deleted files from an NTFS volume. See man 8 ntfsundelete for more details.
