4422.1.23:
443 - Stamp the user space journal, aka transaction log, aka $UsnJrnl, if
444 it is present and active thus telling Windows and applications using
445 the transaction log that changes can have happened on the volume
446 which are not recorded in $UsnJrnl.
447 - Detect the case when Windows has been hibernated (suspended to disk)
448 and if this is the case do not allow (re)mounting read-write to
449 prevent data corruption when you boot back into the suspended
450 Windows session.
451 - Implement extension of resident files using the normal file write
452 code paths, i.e. most very small files can be extended to be a little
453 bit bigger but not by much.
454 - Add new mount option "disable_sparse". (See list of mount options
455 above for details.)
456 - Improve handling of ntfs volumes with errors and strange boot sectors
457 in particular.
458 - Fix various bugs including a nasty deadlock that appeared in recent
459 kernels (around 2.6.11-2.6.12 timeframe).
