- Windows 2000 NTFS support
- basic sysinst support for NTFS
- handle Unicode chars more inteligently - currently only iso-8859-1
chars are supported, it should be possible to get the filename
converted into koi-8, iso-8859-2 & utf-8 at least - there is a set
of patches for FreeBSD adding Unicode support for Joliet CDs worth
adopting:

[almost done]
- better support for writing; tricky is crash recovery
- cleanup the mess with several *readattr*() functions if possible
- convert the code to do caching in buffer cache indexed by
file-vnode/file-offset so that NTFS would take advantage of UBC;
it should also improve performance somewhat, because if it's necessary
to find some offset in a file, it's possible to check if the data
are available in the cache before doing the bmap operation first
(from Chuq)
- working VOP_BALLOC() (new in UBC)
(from Chuq)
- implement writing into resident attributes, so it would be possible
to write into "small" files (<30KB) too
(from Semen Ustimenko <semenu@FreeBSD.org>)
- support mount update
- really implement sync
- write necessary bits to support NTFS in libsa
- NTFS ACL support (though usefullness of such feature is arguable)
