<h1 id="todo_fsck">TODO: Fsck of NTFS</h1>

	<p>Currently this project does not support checking of data structures
	of NTFS volume as being provided by <span class="command">chkdsk.exe</span>
	in W32 environment and <span class="command">fsck</span> in UNIX OS.</p>

	<p>W32 has its disk checking functionality split to
	<span class="fname">untfs.dll</span> W32 userland library.
	according to
	@{[ a_href 'http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/fmifs.shtml',
			'Chkdskx and Formatx' ]}
	by @{[ a_href 'http://www.sysinternals.com/aboutus.shtml',
			'Mark Russinovich' ]}.</p>

	<p>I&nbsp;assume its execution falls completely
	@{[ a_href 'Architecture.pm#existing_emulation','out of scope' ]}
	of this project as it is W32 userland.</p>

	<p>This possibility was not yet investigated in any way.</p>


<h1 id="todo_surprise">TODO: NTFS Support for
		<span class="productname">@{[ a_href '/project/surprise/','Partition Surprise' ]}</span></h1>

	<p>There already exists
	<span class="productname">@{[ a_href 'http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html','ntfsresize' ]}</span>
	using reverse-engineered data structures information. According to the
	usage count it appears
	<span class="productname">@{[ a_href 'http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html','ntfsresize' ]}</span>
	is safe.</p>

	<p>Despite it
	<span class="productname">@{[ a_href 'http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html','ntfsresize' ]}</span>
	still has some usage limitations such as no possibility to shrink the partition to less
	than its half size. There exists technically interesting possibility to use Captive NTFS access for
	<span class="productname">@{[ a_href '/project/surprise/','Partition Surprise' ]}</span>
	as it is the only partition manager capable of disk operations
	by using just the original W32 filesystem driver by full rebuild of the
	filesystem metadata.
	Almost no file data blocks would be needed to move even when using these generic W32 filesyste drivers
	as W32 supports <span class="constant">FSCTL_MOVE_FILE</span> request
	according to
	@{[ a_href 'http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/info/defrag.shtml',
			'Inside Windows NT Disk Defragmenting' ]}
	by @{[ a_href 'http://www.sysinternals.com/aboutus.shtml',
			'Mark Russinovich' ]}.</p>
