On NTFS 3.1 in the 'flags' field of the restart area, the bit 1 (starting
from 0) tells apparently if NTFS is supposed to be clean or not. If the
value is set ('flags' field is 2) then NTFS is "clean", or at least it was
shutdown properly.
Confirmations? Rebuttals?
However all comments and guesses related to dirty/clean NTFS I've seen in
the NTFS doc and in the sources are bogus (at least on NTFS 3.1).
