If you don't use sparse files (does NTFS even support them?), then the
limited write capability of the kernel NTFS driver may be sufficient. It
can write to existing files without changing their sizes as often as you
want to. However, operations like file size changes, file creations and
file deletions may result in "Operation not supported" seemingly
randomly. (At least that was the state of the driver when ntfs-3g came
out, I suppose they didn't remove any features since then.)
Yes NTFS support sparse files.
I need to create a files and directories inside.
However an experimental user can create needed COW files manually of
desired size and use them, who knows if works OK...
Alternatively: I just looked, and ntfs-3g + fuse + fuse kernel module is
still under 2MB - compressed with xz-squashfs, this could be less than
1MB. Although the use case is rare, adding it is unproblematic.
Disregard that, in our complicated scheme, running a file system as a
user space process only yells for trouble.
hehe, I true nightmare!
