The MFT can be put anywhere on the device, and mkntfs
has chosen a layout different from the Windows formatter.
You can see that the initial size is roughly the same, as
4448567-786432 = 3662135. Actually this is not essential,
as the MFT is automatically extended when needed.
Likewise, if you create a file in Windows and in Linux, it
will probably not be put to the same location.

Hi,
If I format a partition under Windows-7, "ntfsinfo -mv
/dev/<partition>" gives me :
"MFT Zone Start" : 786432
"MFT Zone End" : 4448567
.....yet if I use "mkntfs -f -c 4096 -s 512" to format the same
partition, then "ntfsinfo -mv /dev/<partition>" gives me :
"MFT Zone Start" : 0
"MFT Zone End" : 3662139
Why is this?
Please advise
Best Regards
