ntfs_valid_sid() required that the subauthority count be between 1 and 8
inclusively. However, Windows permits more than 8 subauthorities as well
as 0 subauthorities:
- The install.wim file for the latest Windows 10 build contains a file
whose DACL contains a SID with 10 subauthorities.
ntfs_set_ntfs_acl() was failing on this file.
- The IsValidSid() function on Windows returns true for subauthority
less than or equal to 15, including 0.
There was actually already a another SID validation function that had the
Windows-compatible behavior, so I merged the two together.

Newer versions of Windows use more recent definitions of upper-case
table defined by the Unicode consortium. Now using the same table as
Windows 7, windows 8 and Windows 10. This only has an effect on file
systems newly created by mkntfs.
The support for ioctls has been added to fuse when using protocol 7.18,
and an equivalent upgrade has been done in fuse lite with commit [ae9aee].
For old kernels, a fall back to protocol 7.8 was implemented, but this
appears not to be supported in not-so-old kernels (e.g. 2.6.35).
With this patch, the fall back protocol is set to 7.12 or to the highest
level supported by the kernel.
fstrim(8) discards unused blocks on a mounted filesystem. It is useful for
solid-state drives (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage.
Only trimming the full device (with no option) is supported.

This is backporting code from the full FUSE library in order to support
ioctls. The fuse protocol level negociated is now 7.18 instead of 7.8.
A fallback protocol to 7.8 is provided for compatibility with older kernels.
32-bit ioctls are not supported by a 64-bit library
When Posix ACLs are used, the umask is ignored and the initial permissions
of created files are taken for the parent directory. However the umask
should still be used when the Posix ACLs are not enabled in the mount
options.
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.
Windows applies legacy restrictions to file names, so when the option
windows_names is applied, reject the same reserved names, which are
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1..COM9, and LPT1..LPT9
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 ntfsclone'ing to a file, the target file was truncated to the volume
size. This is not useful on file systems which support sparse files. In
the case of ntfs-3g this leads to prevent optimizations specific to
appending data. So when a sparse output file is detected, it is emptied
to benefit from subsequent appending of data.
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 issuing an utimensat as a consequence of utime(2) or utimensat(2),
fuse had temporarily defined a flag utime_omit_ok to identify whether
the file system supports the values UTIME_OMIT and UTIME_NOW to mean
specific timestamp updatings. The flag has been obsoleted and all
file system are now supposed to comply with the convention.

Modify libntfs-3g to make use of hd library to get the legacy BIOS geometry
from EDD. We scan all whole disk devices on the system and check if they
match the open ntfs device and if not we scan all partition devices on the
system and check if they match the open ntfs device.
If we find a partition device to match then we find its parent device again
using the hd library.
Once we have the parent of the partition device or we matched a whole disk
device we get the legacy EDD sectors per track and heads again using the hd
library.
Use of the hd library is auto detected (based on finding <hd.h> header file,
being able to link against libhd and finding the hd_list symbol in libhd.
Use can also be disabled/enabled/libhd prefix specified at ./configure time.
See ./configure --help for details.
Note this obviously requires libhd to be installed. On Ubuntu 12/04 systems
the relevant packages needed are libhd-dev and libhd16 (on older Ubuntu
versions it will be libhdN where N is some number <= 16 but an easy way to
get the right package is to simply install libhd-dev which by dependency
pulls in the correct libhdN package) whilst on SLES systems the relevant
packages needed are hwinfo and hwinfo-devel.
Upgrade the Win32 interface (win32_io.c) which was designed for Cygwin
so that it can be used for using the ntfsprogs utilities on native Windows.
Two new entries are added for truncating a file and creating a sparse
file, both of which not being supported through msvcrt.dll.
The MS_* flags originated from system constants. However the flags
passed to ntfs_mount were really unrelated to the system constants and
many new MS_* flags had to be introduced as different features were
added to the library. Those flags had no counterparts in any system
APIs, so using the same naming scheme is inappropriate.
Instead, let's namespace these flags similarly to what has already been
done in ntfsprogs/libntfs earlier. This avoids any possible conflicts
with system constants.
The values of the flags themselves are kept the same as earlier, so
backward compatibility is retained.
- 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*'.
Replace the obsolete definition of reparse tags in layout.h by the
current definitions from msdn, and use them in reparse.c instead of
redefining them.
The libfuse used by OpenIndiana has the same features as libfuse-lite
though requiring some code variants. Merging them simplifies supporting
both.
Variants for OpenIndiana are selected when defining __SOLARIS__
So far the set-group-id flag could be set in a chmod. This patch enables
the inheritance of the group to files and subdirectories, and the
inheritance of the set-group-id flag to subdirectories.
The option delay_mtime avoid updating the mtime of a file after each
individual updating. With this patch, the frequency of the update can
be adjusted to needs (default 60s). This is mainly useful for big files
which are kept open for a long period (file system images, virtual
computers, etc.)
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.
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.
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.
