4 * HPFS structures by Chris Smith, 1993
6 * a little bit modified by Mikulas Patocka, 1998-1999
12 Design goals and implementation of the new High Performance File System
13 Microsoft Systems Journal Sept 1989 v4 n5 p1(13)
15 describes what HPFS looked like when it was new, and it is the source
16 of most of the information given here. The rest is conjecture.
18 For definitive information on the Duncan paper, see it, not this file.
19 For definitive information on HPFS, ask somebody else -- this is guesswork.
20 There are certain to be many mistakes. */

224 Bit order in the maps is little-endian. 0 means taken, 1 means free.
226 Bit map sectors are marked allocated in the bit maps, and so are sectors
227 off the end of the partition.

241 corresponds to one 4-sector dnode, bit 0 of the map corresponding to
242 the first 4 sectors of the directory band. The entire band is marked
