You could look at ntfsresize. It walks all clusters by all inodes during filesystem consistency check. It took me minutes to use that code to write an efficient ntfs imaging tool. It's not released yet because it's also capable of saving metadata only thus the image is locally mountable (e.g. debugging user problems) and at present there are too much code duplicate what I really hate (and unfortunately libntfs has a lot, it's something I also disagree with Anton). BTW, occasionally there are also different ways to do the same thing in the library [something I don't like all the time as well] and what you're trying to do is different how ntfsresize achives this and if you continue on your way I would expect finding bugs in the library. Good luck, Szaka |
