Re: [Linux-NTFS-Dev] nonresident atttibute list

I'm nastier still.  

First create a 10Mb volume and a 1kb file (too big to be resident),
then use this batch file to fill the disk:


for /l %%i in (0,1,9) do (
  for /l %%j in (0,1,9) do (
    for /l %%k in (0,1,9) do (
      for /l %%l in (0,1,9) do (
        copy c:\junk e:\x%%i%%j%%k%%l
      )
    )
  )
)


Next delete every other file:

del x???1 x???3 x???5 x???7 x???9

Finally, find a file exactly the right size to fill the free space.

For my example it left thousands of holes and the attribute list
spanned 7 MFT Records.

Hope this helps,
