====== ntfsreloc - program for adjusting FS geometry on NTFS partitions ======

[[Dewin]] contributed [[relocntfs]] in his mail to [[:mailinglists|Linux-NTFS-Dev]] on Sep 20, 2006.

[[orgads]] rewrote the program on May 5, 2008, renaming it to ntfsreloc in order to comply with ntfs-progs naming convention.

ntfsreloc is not maintained or tested by Linux-NTFS members. Please report issues to the author via orgads[at]gmail-com. Please report [[:mailinglists|Linux-NTFS-Dev]] on an updated version.

[[relocntfs]] backup sector bug should be resolved in this program.

information about NTFS boot sector structure achieved both from libntfs and from [[http://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/NTFSBR.htm|here]].

===== Known Issues =====

The program is experimental. It was NOT tested thoroughly enough. The author will be glad to receive feedback.

[resolved] running on 64bit processor leads to corrupted NTFS bootsectors instead of a relocation.
