Yes. Oops. I posted the wrong one. Sorry.

Yes, I think so.

Would you accept a patch which allowed the setting of raw data without any 
validation? The data stream generated by the BackupRead API under Windows 
contains DATA, ALTERNATE_DATA, EA_DATA, LINK, OBJECT_ID, PROPERTY_DATA, 
REPARSE_DATA, SECURITY_DATA, and SPARSE_BLOCK streams. You handle most of them 
already, but not OBJECT_ID which is one that I need. I can't see that it would 
add much value to ntfs-3g for anything other than backup and restore.

Do the xattr namespaces have to be pre-registered with Linux, or can I create 
something like 'system.ntfs_raw_X' where X is the hex value that corresponds to 
the data stream?

Thanks

James
