[Linux-NTFS-Dev] Q: Index Allocation

[Michael N. F. <mi...@id...>]

/*
 * Attribute: Index allocation (0xa0).
 *
 * Always non-resident (doesn't make sense to be resident anyway!).
 * 
 * This is an array of index blocks. Each index block starts with an
 * INDEX_BLOCK_HEADER structure containing an index header, followed by a
 * sequence of index entries (INDEX_ENTRY structures), as described by the
 * index header.
 */
typedef struct {
	NTFS_RECORD_HEADER ntfs;	/* Magic is "INDX". */

//
// shouldnt log_sequence_number be here ?
//
	__u64 index_block_vcn;		/* Virtual cluster number of this
					   index block. */
	INDEX_HEADER index;		/* Index header describing the
					   following index entries. */
} __attribute__ ((__packed__)) INDEX_BLOCK_HEADER;

Btw: Why not to place log_sequence_number (lsn) into NTFS_RECORD_HEADER.

Sincerely,
Michael
