Don't hide any longer :-) Sure but the above statement is valid only for about a few hours :) About cluster relocation/defrag in the future: I think partly "defrag" at the end of the volume is more then enough for two reasons: - less chance to screw things up (by a power failure of course ;) - could be significantly faster: people, who resize at e.g. install or whatever time, are really not interested in full defrag however fast operation.

At present at least these should be moved to libntfs: get_size_for_mapping_pairs(), get_min_bytes_width(), write_min_bytes(), build_mapping_pairs(), ntfs_rlwrite(). Do you want to do it yourself or should I send patch for these as well? Szaka |
