Release_0.7.0: Remove tests and inspection sections from README
slate-ntfs 0.7.0
Warning: limited testing. slate-ntfs has been tested, but only in a limited setting (Ubuntu). While tested performance has
shown to have been very stable, production machine can be risky: a driver bug can corrupt data on the volume.
Keep backups ready.
Highlights
- Wider volume support for writes: clusters from 512 bytes to 2 MiB, 1 KiB or
4 KiB file records, and 512-byte or 4 KiB sectors. - Fragmented and large journals: a
$LogFilethat Windows left in several
pieces is written and recovered like a contiguous one, up to just under 4 GiB. - Split
$MFT: the mounted driver reads and writes a file table spread over
several records, and grows it beyond record 0 when needed. - Windows-forbidden characters in names (
" * : < > ? \ |) are stored with
the WSL private-use convention, so Wine and Proton prefixes work on a normal
mount. - Fewer device flushes for namespace-heavy work, faster
statfs, and
directory listings that report file types directly. - Repair:
ntfs-chkdsk --repairnow unmounts a read-only mount the mount
helper left behind before repairing; replay handles torn MFT records. - License: the project is now MIT. The kernel module is dual MIT/GPL, and the
upcase table ported from NTFS-3G stays GPL-2.0-or-later. See the README's
License section.
