Please keep in alphabetical order so utilities are easier to find. Thanks, Anton ********** * mkntfs * ********** - mkntfs should be hard linked with mkfs.ntfs for the mkfs utility. - We don't know what the real last sector is, thus we mark the volume dirty and the subsequent chkdsk (which will happen on reboot into Windows automatically) recreates the backup boot sector if the Linux kernel lied to us about the number of sectors. - Got a report that creating a floppy with mkntfs failed. Difference between this floppy and the floppy created by the special tool found on the net was said to be that the bitmap is 256kib on the special floppy while mkntfs will make it much smaller. Need to verify this and experiment with the bitmap size to make it work. Note, reporter was using win2k. *********** * ntfsfix * *********** - Cleanup to use ntfs_attr_* API for editing $MFTMirr, $Volume, and $LogFile. This has the immediate benefit of enabling attribute list support and making the code simpler. - On ntfs 3.0+ volumes need to disable the usn journal if it is active. This means deleting file $UsnJrnl from /$Extend directory. - On ntfs 3.0+ volumes need to mark the quota out of date? - Probably, but it shouldn't cause any corruption not doing so for the moment so this is not a showstopper bug for the first release. (AIA) ************* * ntfslabel * ************* - Support ioctls for ntfs tng driver 2.?.? for reading/changing the label. ************** * ntfsresize * ************** High priority - support fragmented volumes -- WIP - recovery support, journaling Medium priority - easy usage by partitioning tools -- WIP - move useful things to libntfs - extended error codes at exit() - cleanup at exit() - quiet operation Low priority - move volume start - support disks having bad blocks **************** * ntfsundelete * **************** - undelete by name rather than inode number - support for compressed files - support for internationalisation - recover by type? - mass undelete (using wildcards) - display parent directory - name "" to MFTn
