NTFS - list of things to do in no particular order:
- 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
some Unicode support present under FreeBSD, would be worth considering
for adoption (it's needed to properly support Juliet CDs anyway)

* not very hard
- 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_nt{get|put|rele}() - investigate if they are really necessary;
if not, drop them if yes, convert them to use lockmgr()-style locking
