In article <200203190542.g2J5gJi04830@sleipnir.ncsa.uiuc.edu>, Quincey Koziol <koziol@ncsa.uiuc.edu> writes > What's the best book or other set of documentation describing the FFS >filesystem format? There is an overview in "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System", ISBN 0-201-54979-4. Otherwise you're stuck reading the source ... > Are there any good books or other pieces of documentation about NTFS? "Inside Microsoft Windows 2000", David Solomon and Mark Russinovich, Microsoft Press ISBN 0-7356-1021-5 Chapter 13 has the best published info. (IMO) Check http://www.sysinternals.com where there are utilities to read NTFS volumes (executable only, I think they had source at one point for an earlier version). FileMon and NTFSinfo utilities are available in source form and allow you to probe some details of a running system. I am (intermittently) putting some resources/pointers together for low level Windows programming. Some of the books mentioned on my web page have snippets of info, http://www.ubik.demon.co.uk/proginfo.html but probably are not at the level you want.
