Hi Konstantin,

That's cool :) As Nikolay said it needs a little change to the makefiles
to even build.

Are you also going to publish your own mkfs.ntfs3 tool? I dont think the
existing one would support 64k clusters.

I would recommend to run checkpatch (I see already 87 warnings... some
of it is noise):

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl <patch>

And sparse (I dont see much):

$ touch fs/ntfs3/*.[ch] && make C=1

You need a recent build of sparse to do that last one. You can pass your
own sparse bin (make CHECK=~/prog/sparse/sparse C=1)

This will be a good first step.

Have you tried to run the xfstests suite against it?

Cheers,
