## Source excerpt

This is a detailed summary of the work I've performed during GSoC. Highlights Wrote numerous functions which allow for NTFS write-support. Expanded ReactOS' NTFS driver with the ability to overwrite files and change a file's size. Identified and repaired several bugs related to reading files from NTFS. Fixed ReactOS' LargeMCB implementation, facilitating support for four file systems, NTFS included (See CORE-11002). Diagnosed and fixed a regression using log files (See CORE-11707).
