- 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)
- Windows 2000 NTFS support (need windows 2000 machine to test)
- handle Unicode chars more inteligently - the code now mangles filenames
to something close to iso-8859-1, the default should be to encode them
to utf-8 with option to use other character sets like iso-8859-[12], koi-8
and the like.
There is a set of patches for FreeBSD adding Unicode support for Joliet CDs
worth adopting:

- cleanup the mess with several *readattr*() functions if possible
- 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
- support mount update
- really implement sync
- write necessary bits to support NTFS in libsa
- basic sysinst support for NTFS
- NTFS ACL support (though usefullness of such feature is arguable)
