34 * Transaction log ($UsnJrnl) organization:
36 * The transaction log records whenever a file is modified in any way. So for
37 * example it will record that file "blah" was written to at a particular time
38 * but not what was written. If will record that a file was deleted or
39 * created, that a file was truncated, etc. See below for all the reason
42 * The transaction log is in the $Extend directory which is in the root
43 * directory of each volume. If it is not present it means transaction
44 * logging is disabled. If it is present it means transaction logging is
45 * either enabled or in the process of being disabled in which case we can
46 * ignore it as it will go away as soon as Windows gets its hands on it.
48 * To determine whether the transaction logging is enabled or in the process
49 * of being disabled, need to check the volume flags in the
50 * $VOLUME_INFORMATION attribute in the $Volume system file (which is present
51 * in the root directory and has a fixed mft record number, see layout.h).
52 * If the flag VOLUME_DELETE_USN_UNDERWAY is set it means the transaction log
53 * is in the process of being disabled and if this flag is clear it means the
54 * transaction log is enabled.
56 * The transaction log consists of two parts; the $DATA/$Max attribute as well
57 * as the $DATA/$J attribute. $Max is a header describing the transaction
58 * log whilst $J is the transaction log data itself as a sequence of variable
59 * sized USN_RECORDs (see below for all the structures).
61 * We do not care about transaction logging at this point in time but we still
62 * need to let windows know that the transaction log is out of date. To do
63 * this we need to stamp the transaction log. This involves setting the
64 * lowest_valid_usn field in the $DATA/$Max attribute to the usn to be used
65 * for the next added USN_RECORD to the $DATA/$J attribute as well as
66 * generating a new journal_id in $DATA/$Max.
68 * The journal_id is as of the current version (2.0) of the transaction log
69 * simply the 64-bit timestamp of when the journal was either created or last
72 * To determine the next usn there are two ways. The first is to parse
73 * $DATA/$J and to find the last USN_RECORD in it and to add its record_length
74 * to its usn (which is the byte offset in the $DATA/$J attribute). The
75 * second is simply to take the data size of the attribute. Since the usns
76 * are simply byte offsets into $DATA/$J, this is exactly the next usn. For
77 * obvious reasons we use the second method as it is much simpler and faster.
79 * As an aside, note that to actually disable the transaction log, one would
80 * need to set the VOLUME_DELETE_USN_UNDERWAY flag (see above), then go
81 * through all the mft records on the volume and set the usn field in their
82 * $STANDARD_INFORMATION attribute to zero. Once that is done, one would need
83 * to delete the transaction log file, i.e. \$Extent\$UsnJrnl, and finally,
84 * one would need to clear the VOLUME_DELETE_USN_UNDERWAY flag.
86 * Note that if a volume is unmounted whilst the transaction log is being
87 * disabled, the process will continue the next time the volume is mounted.
88 * This is why we can safely mount read-write when we see a transaction log
89 * in the process of being deleted.
