442 | 2.1.23: | ||
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). | ||
