I took a quick look and the biggest problem I've seen was that resize_nonres_attr() could overflow the MFT record. It's not very probably but it can do happen. > However, if you were to use it, you might see results like: > > http://flatcap.org/ntfs/move_before.png > http://flatcap.org/ntfs/move_after.png Looks nice :) BTW, you don't allow ntldr to be moved. Why? AFAIK the only requirement is it must be in the root directory (because $BOOT has a mini NTFS driver), so it could be moved at the cluster level. Did you _test_ that it doesn't work on NT4 or you _think_ it wouldn't work? Cheers, Szaka |
