- 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)
- readdir: evalutate impact of using variable length reclen - should
enable us to store much more entries into buf in typical case with
short filenames, though more work would need to be done in offset != 0
case
- readdir: fill in proper "inode" number for '..' entry
- handle Unicode filenames more inteligently - they are translated to UTF-2
form currently, adding hooks for various character sets or other encodings
would be trivial
- implement writing into resident attributes, so it would be possible
to write into "small" files (<30KB) too
(from Semen Ustimenko <semenu@FreeBSD.org>)
generally, better write support
- once writing would work, consider quota support
- support mount update
- really implement sync
- write necessary bits to support NTFS in libsa
- basic sysinst support for NTFS
- NTFS ACL support (though usefulness of such feature is arguable)
