## AI overview

A GSoC Week 3 progress report on implementing NTFS write support. The author describes studying NTFS, building a standalone file-listing app, and updating data structures needed to extend non-resident files, including file records and fixup arrays.

## Source excerpt

Learning About NTFS I spent most of the week studying NTFS in-depth, and really learning about some of the things I glossed over before. This is something I had to do make meaningful progress with increasing file sizes. This involved (re-re-re-)reading the three relevant chapters in File System Forensic Analysis. Also, in order to retain and really understand the information, I've started making a standalone app that lists files on an NTFS partition.
