Note, a technical ChangeLog aimed at kernel hackers is in fs/ntfs/ChangeLog.

+ - Implement support for sector sizes above 512 bytes (up to the maximum

+ - Enhance support for NTFS volumes which were supported by Windows but

- Write support is now extended with write(2) being able to both
overwrite existing file data and to extend files. Also, if a write

+Note that trying to mount a tmpfs with an mpol option will fail if the

+specifies a node >= MAX_NUMNODES. If your system relies on that tmpfs
