<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>ntfscmp</B>
|
|
|
|
program makes a comparison between two NTFS filesystems from all aspects and
|
|
reports all variances it finds.
|
|
The filesystems can be on block devices or images files. Ntfscmp can be used
|
|
for volume verification however its primary purpose was to be an efficient
|
|
development tool, used to quickly locate, identify and check the correctness
|
|
of the metadata changes made to NTFS.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If one is interested only in the NTFS metadata changes then it could be useful
|
|
to compare the metadata images created by
|
|
using the --metadata option of
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+ntfsclone">ntfsclone</A></B>(8)
|
|
|
|
to eliminate the usually uninteresting timestamp changes.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The terse output of
|
|
<B>ntfscmp</B>
|
|
|
|
is intentional because the provided information is enough in each case
|
|
to determine the exact differences. This can be achieved, for instance,
|
|
if one compares the verbose outputs of
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+ntfsinfo">ntfsinfo</A></B>(8)
|
|
|
|
for each reported inodes by the
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+diff">diff</A></B>(1)
|
|
|
|
utility.
