Re: Conceptual :-> NTFS $DATA runlist for huge compressed files, with multiple Extension MFT Record

Heck, I’d like to know where you got all of the info that got you this far…

mayank , If may…

mostly from NTFS driver code for linux which was available at
sysinternals.com. some additional brain damage was also required because
there also complete info is not available. other pointers are :- Helen
custers’ book(name ??) and Native API reference book (again authors ??)

Sorry, I was probably convinced that I won’t get any replies. I happen to
delete ur mail accidently.

But, Harish just told me that someone actually responded to my mail. Though
ur response couldn’t help me much, but its these very rare occasions that I
can help someone. Because mostly, we only have talk going on drivers.

Anyways, to start with, a beginners approach to NTFS is in a chapter in
“Windows NT Internals - Rajeev Nagar”. “Inside NTFS - Helen Custer (should
have been cluster)” expands that chapter into a book of 80 pages – slightly
more detailed.

The developer’s tutorial, is in a book called “Windows NT/2k Native API
Reference - Gary Nebbet”.

But byte-byte exhaustive (nearly) info is only available at the
sysinternals’ site.

“Inside NTFS”. This information also provided by David Solomon in “Inside
Windows NT, Second Edition”.
But the Linux driver source is definitely better :slight_smile:
