For 64-bit (e.g. x86_64) Linux the 64-bit wide types resolve to long,
not long long as is the case in 32-bit (e.g. i386) Linux. So we need an
explicit cast to long long for 64-bit types since the format string must
specify the 'll' modifier in order to print 64-bit values.
This commit addresses issues where little-endian variables are emitted
raw to a log or output stream which is to be interpreted by the user.
Outputting data in non-native endianness can cause confusion for anybody
attempting to debug issues with a file system.
When writing to compressed data, the function ntfs_attr_pwrite()
cannot cross a compression block border. This is a problem for archivers
which rely on libntfs-3g, so the function is now wrapped in another one
which restarts the writing as needed.
chkdsk deletes the ACLs when they are bad or when they are not used any
more. This fixes inserting a new ACL after the previously last ACL (or
even all of them) was deleted.
A bug was introduced by commit d2c7d40a2b :
when the beginning of a file was a hole and the runlist span over several
MFT extents, the runlist was not mapped on filling the initial hole.
This lead to a crash when using torrent to download big files.
When the runlist of the data attribute of MFT has to be split across
several extents, the location of each extent has to be known from the
runlist present in previous extents. So, force the first extent into
record 15 to avoid a bad layout.
When a hole in a sparse file was filled, the runlist was fully recomputed.
When a sparse file spans over several MFT extents, this patch leads to
only recompute the runlist from the modified extent to the end.
Updating an attribute may imply decompressing runlists which are not
contiguous, leaving an unmapped region between them. When checking whether
the attribute has been made sparse, such unmapped regions should be ignored
This mostly happens after updating an index. (fix by Forrest Liu)
When calling ntfstruncate() to expand a resident attribute, the function
is called again recursively, losing the requirement for not inserting
holes. This is for forwarding the requirement (used by ntfscp).
When testing whether a stream has been wiped out for possibly changing
its compression status, only the non-resident case was considered.
This fixes the test for streams which were never made non-resident.
- Replaced 'ntfschar*' parameters with 'const ntfschar*' where
appropriate (the function does not need to modify the string).
- Replaced some instances of 'u8*' and 'char*' read-only buffer
arguments with 'const u8*' and 'const char*'.
Appending data to a file is done in two steps : first extending the
file to the required size, then inserting data in the created space.
There is no need to recompute the runlist at the end of the first
step, just be sure the original configuration is rolled back if inserting
data leads to an error.
When computing the runlist for the first non-resident write to an
attribute, an inconsistency was created between the attribute image
and the ntfs_attr structure, which could cause an MFT record overflow
when the first write is huge and fragmented (reported by Vito Caputo).
Logging of fixup errors for uninitialized inodes cause unnecessary
worries and suspicion of malfunctions in ntfs-3g. This patch silences
these loggings in ntfsclone and ntfsresize which have to analyze all
inodes, including the uninitialized ones.
When clearing a volume name in Windows, $VOLUME_NAME is set to size 0, even if
the standard $AttrDef says that the minimum size is 2.
So the definition in $AttrDef doesn't reflect actual Windows behaviour in this
particular case, and to clear volume names ourselves the way Windows does it,
we must must add a special rule to permit us to truncate the $VOLUME_NAME
attribute to 0 even when $AttrDef specifies a higher value as minimum size.
When an attribute is truncated and made resident, the NAttrFullyMapped
flags has to be cleared, otherwise the attribute cannot be properly
mapped when the attribute is later made non-resident again.
A corner case was wrong and could cause aborted writes with error
"Run lists overlap. Cannot merge" when the clusters required by the
write are described in different MFT extents.
This can only happen in very fragmented files when the cluster size
is smaller than 4096 bytes. It does not cause any metadata corruption.
