           continued the attribute lookup loop instead of aborting it.
         - Use buffer_migrate_page() for the ->migratepage function of all ntfs
           address space operations.
+        - Fix comparison of $MFT and $MFTMirr to not bail out when there are
+          unused, invalid mft records which are the same in both $MFT and
+          $MFTMirr.
 
 2.1.26 - Minor bug fixes and updates.
