NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation default is to enable 8.3 creation NtfsAllowExtendedCharacterIn8dot3Name default is to disallow extended chars NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate default is enable the last acc. update __u32 NtfsMftZoneReservation: If not present set the variable _NtfsMftZoneMultiplier to 1. If = 0 or > 4, again set the variable _NtfsMftZoneMultiplier to 1. Otherwise, set the variable _NtfsMftZoneMultiplier to the value of NtfsMftZoneReservation. Value = Space % of volume reserved for MftZone 1 = 12.5% 2 = 25% 3 = 37.5% 4 = 50% The zone multiplier is ONLY read accessed when mount_volume is called and when deallocate_clusters is called. The zone multiplier is ONLY write accessed when the driver initializes. Win2k adds: NtfsQuotaNotifyRate ? NtfsEncryptionService ?
