[GLLUG] Documentation for NTFS

[Clay Dowling]

I wouldn't expect much in the samba source code, since samba is about a 
network protocol, not a file system. The place to look for information 
about NTFS is going to be Microsoft.  MSDN is expensive, but full of 
useful information.

What you won't find is source code for the file system, because that's 
Microsoft's intellectual property and they aren't going to give it away.

Linux has limited support for NTFS, and the drivers and utilities for it 
are open source.  It's a bit of a crap shoot, because this is all 
reverse engineered, but it might have what you need.
