- mkntfs should be hard linked with mkfs.ntfs for the mkfs utility.
12
- We don't know what the real last sector is, thus we mark the volume dirty
13
and the subsequent chkdsk (which will happen on reboot into Windows
14
automatically) recreates the backup boot sector if the Linux kernel lied to
15
us about the number of sectors.

- Got a report that creating a floppy with mkntfs failed. Difference between
17
12
this floppy and the floppy created by the special tool found on the net was
18
13
said to be that the bitmap is 256kib on the special floppy while mkntfs will
27
- get rid of the unneeded lseek()'s during reads/writes
22
- get rid of the unneeded lseek()'s during reads/writes (probably it
23
doesn't improve performance much, or any at all)
28
24
- catch if source and dest are the same
29
- consider badblock list
30
- add dd's noerror option
31
25
- disable consistency check for --metadata (e.g. if the check is crashing)
32
- make "wiped", etc statistic variables long long
28
- metadata cloning: skip more non-needed inodes
29
- manual: document LFS issues (smbfs' lfs option, nfs)
30
- manual: mention optimized seeks
31
- manual: optimal backup if disks have bad sectors
32
- manual: ntfsclone guarantees the restored image works only
33
if one restores to the exactly same partition. For example,
34
one can not copy system partition to a different partition:
35
minimum "hidden sectors" field and BOOT.INI need modifications.
36
We could do these adjustments optionally.
37
- check if kernel block size = GCD(page size, device size) makes
38
effect on performance (Al Viro says no)
39
- check whether the O_WRONLY -> O_RDWR change made effect on performance
46
- more exact details about the differences
47
- unnamed resident attributes with same type are ignored
48
- special $BadClus:$Bad handling, now $BadClus is skipped
49
- new option: --metadata mode
50
- code cleanup, remove many cross-util duplicates
52
- performance: perhaps special handling for sparse, compressed, encrypted
59
- add ability to copy multiply files at once.
66
- support disks having bad sectors
67
93
- cope with the rare, unsupported cases, see man ntfsresize 'KNOWN ISSUES'
68
94
- save $Bitmap if it was modified and an error occures (e.g. bad sector).
69
95
- handle signals (^C, etc)
98
- fully support disks with bad sectors (attrlist attr, unknown bad sectors)
72
99
- move volume start
