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

I read the Custer book “Inside NTFS” a few years back, I think the first
edition. I have heard that there have been new editions released. The one
I read gave a vague general overview, but nothing specific. I’ll have to
that this other Nagar book, as I have his book on writing filesystem
drivers which is very good. Finally, I am a big fan of sysinternals, but I
have never seen this kind of detailed byte by byte info on the site, nor
can I find it now. The best info I have seen on there is the description
of the defrag apis. Could you give me the direct url to this byte by byte
info you mentioned?

Thank you very much, this is a very interesting topic for me.

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.

Please also have a look at

and

My Linux NTFS driver has a set of HTML files in its doc/ subdirectory;
Regis Duchesne’s page is a differently-formatted version of the same
information.

Hello Max,

Could you, please, send me the linux driver source. I know it was available
on sysinternals
site, but I didn’t manage to download it.

Many thanks.

“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:

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 ??)
