Checking supplementary groups permissions to access a file relies on
a supplementary group list available in /proc/PID. This patch adds a
variant to implement the checks based on the specific format used
by OpenIndiana.
On Windows XP and Vista, the system hibernation is identified by the
sequence "hibr" at the beginning of hiberfil.sys. This had been changed
to "HIBR" in Windows 7, so both sequences have to be accepted as
hibernation criteria.
When the cluster size is bigger than the index block size, the index
block size unit is 512 (not the sector size) instead of the cluster size.
The partitions formatted by mkntfs and used by ntfs-3g were not
interoperable with Windows when the cluster size is bigger than 4K
and the sector size is not 512.
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).
With the default mount options, compression of new files are now done
if the parent directory is marked for compression. The mount option
"compression" is not needed any more, but the option "nocompression"
can be used to disable compression of new files.
The default option also applies to applications using libntfs-3g with
no mount command.
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.
The label changing code in ntfslabel was cleaned up and modified to use the more
advanced functionality of libntfs-3g instead of using older custom code to
resize and create resident attributes.
The core label changing functionality was also moved into the library so it can
be reused by other programs.
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.
When getting extents of MFT, we must be sure they are in the MFT part which
has already been mapped, otherwise we fall into an endless recursion.
Situations have been met where extents locations are described in themselves,
as a consequence of a bug, probably unrelated to ntfs-3g.
This is a severe error which chkdsk cannot fix.
For some reason, when the monted device is "/dev/mapper/*", a record
in the form "/dev/dm-*" ends up in /etc/mtab and the device cannot be
unmounted.
The reason is unclear, the /dev/mapper name is not a symlink, and the
function doing the name change is not known. No detailed feedback from
the users having met the issue.
The patch changes the name back to the /dev/mapper name after realpath()
is called, and, if there is an actual change, both the name passed to
ntfs-3g and the one passed to fuse and mount are logged in the hope
of getting a clue about what is happening.
But ntfs-3g is probably not the right place for a fix.
When ignore_case is set, the file names are returned lower-case in
readdir() in order to make file name completions possible. This patch
does the same for junction points to avoid directory locks when used
with non-matching names.
In rare situations there is not enough space in the base inode entry
to make an index non resident. The index has to be moved to an extent
first. This happens when not using permissions and inserting a file
whose name has 60 chars into a directory whose name has 184 chars.
(bug reported by Vito Caputo)
The "flags" argument of ntfs_initialize_file_security() is intended to
feed the one to ntfs_mount(). Having the same type for both may avoid
future problems.
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.
