Hello,

I am trying to understand what a value of -2 means for aLCN. Does anyone 
know?

For example: I see the following when I run ntfscluster:

./ntfscluster -f -I 0 /dev/sdc1
Dump: /$MFT
     0x10 - resident
     0x20 - resident
     0x30 - resident
     0x80 - non-resident
              VCN     LCN     Length
                0   786432        4
                4       -2  3882300
     0x80 - non-resident
              VCN     LCN     Length
                0       -2        4
                4   786436    90684
            90688   877270    51210
           141898  1359523    51229
           193127  1841856    51200
           244327  2324736    51200
              ... continues ...


The NTFS filesystem was created on Windows (Server 2008 R2) and mounted 
on linux using ntfs-3g. May someone please explain to this situation to 
me? I could not find any documentation that explains this further.

Quickly looking at the source code, some comments mention that -2 is 
mapped to LCN_RL_NOT_MAPPED and the runlist is not yet defined?

Any explanation on this situation and how to properly handle this case 
would be very helpful.

Thanks,
-Adam
