废话 - 我要说“这不可行，至少不能通过 MFT 修改，没有很多痛苦”；首先，NTFS MFT 结构本身并不是 100%“开放”的，所以我开始深入研究逆向工程领域，它具有我没有心情处理的法律影响。此外，在 .NET 中执行此操作是一个非常繁琐的映射和编组结构的过程，基于大量的猜测（并且不要让我开始了解大多数 MFT 结构都以奇怪的方式压缩的事实）。短篇小说，虽然我确实学到了很多关于 NTFS 如何“工作”的知识，但我离这个问题的解决方案还差得远。
[/编辑]
呃……废话太多了……
这让我觉得“很有趣”，因此我不得不在这个问题上四处寻找......它仍然是一个“正在进行中的答案”，但想发布我所需要帮助其他人提出的所有问题有东西。 :)
另外，我有一个粗略的感觉，这在 FAT32 上会容易得多，但考虑到我只有 NTFS 可以使用......
所以 - 很多调用和编组，所以让我们从那里开始并向后工作：
正如人们可能猜到的那样，标准 .NET 文件/IO api 在这里对您没有多大帮助 - 我们需要 设备级 访问：
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern SafeFileHandle CreateFile(
string lpFileName,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] FileAccess dwDesiredAccess,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] FileShare dwShareMode,
IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] FileMode dwCreationDisposition,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] FileAttributes dwFlagsAndAttributes,
IntPtr hTemplateFile);
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool ReadFile(
SafeFileHandle hFile, // handle to file
byte[] pBuffer, // data buffer, should be fixed
int NumberOfBytesToRead, // number of bytes to read
IntPtr pNumberOfBytesRead, // number of bytes read, provide NULL here
ref NativeOverlapped lpOverlapped // should be fixed, if not null
);
[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern bool SetFilePointerEx(
SafeFileHandle hFile,
long liDistanceToMove,
out long lpNewFilePointer,
SeekOrigin dwMoveMethod);
我们将因此使用这些讨厌的 win32 野兽：
// To the metal, baby!
using (var fileHandle = NativeMethods.CreateFile(
// Magic "give me the device" syntax
@"\\.\c:",
// MUST explicitly provide both of these, not ReadWrite
FileAccess.Read | FileAccess.Write,
// MUST explicitly provide both of these, not ReadWrite
FileShare.Write | FileShare.Read,
IntPtr.Zero,
FileMode.Open,
FileAttributes.Normal,
IntPtr.Zero))
{
if (fileHandle.IsInvalid)
{
// Doh!
throw new Win32Exception();
}
else
{
// Boot sector ~ 512 bytes long
byte[] buffer = new byte[512];
NativeOverlapped overlapped = new NativeOverlapped();
NativeMethods.ReadFile(fileHandle, buffer, buffer.Length, IntPtr.Zero, ref overlapped);
// Pin it so we can transmogrify it into a FAT structure
var handle = GCHandle.Alloc(buffer, GCHandleType.Pinned);
try
{
// note, I've got an NTFS drive, change yours to suit
var bootSector = (BootSector_NTFS)Marshal.PtrToStructure(
handle.AddrOfPinnedObject(),
typeof(BootSector_NTFS));
哇，哇哇 - BootSector_NTFS 到底是什么？它是一个字节映射的struct，与我认为的 NTFS 结构（包括 FAT32）非常接近：

所以现在我们可以将整个混乱'o'字节映射回这个结构：
// Pin it so we can transmogrify it into a FAT structure
var handle = GCHandle.Alloc(buffer, GCHandleType.Pinned);
try
{
// note, I've got an NTFS drive, change yours to suit
var bootSector = (BootSector_NTFS)Marshal.PtrToStructure(
handle.AddrOfPinnedObject(),
typeof(BootSector_NTFS));
Console.WriteLine(
"I think that the Master File Table is at absolute position:{0}, sector:{1}",
bootSector.GetMftAbsoluteIndex(),
bootSector.GetMftAbsoluteIndex() / bootSector.BytesPerSector);
此时输出：
I think that the Master File Table is at
absolute position:3221225472, sector:6291456
让我们使用 OEM 支持工具nfi.exe 快速确认一下：

酷，看起来我们在正确的轨道上......继续前进！
// If you've got LinqPad, uncomment this to look at boot sector
bootSector.Dump();
Console.WriteLine("Jumping to Master File Table...");
long lpNewFilePointer;
if (!NativeMethods.SetFilePointerEx(

{
throw new Win32Exception();
}
Console.WriteLine("Position now: {0}", lpNewFilePointer);
// Read in one MFT entry
byte[] mft_buffer = new byte[bootSector.GetMftEntrySize()];
Console.WriteLine("Reading $MFT entry...calculated size: 0x{0}",
bootSector.GetMftEntrySize().ToString("X"));
var seekIndex = bootSector.GetMftAbsoluteIndex();

mftRecords.Dump();
}
finally
{
// make sure we clean up

}
}
finally

}
啊，更多的原生结构要讨论 - 所以 MFT 被安排成前 16 个左右的条目是“固定的”：
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct MFTSystemRecords
{
public MFTRecord Mft;
public MFTRecord MftMirror;
public MFTRecord LogFile;
public MFTRecord Volume;
public MFTRecord AttributeDefs;
public MFTRecord RootFile;
public MFTRecord ClusterBitmap;
public MFTRecord BootSector;
public MFTRecord BadClusterFile;
public MFTRecord SecurityFile;
public MFTRecord UpcaseTable;
public MFTRecord ExtensionFile;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 16)]
public MFTRecord[] MftReserved;
public MFTRecord MftFileExt;
}
MFTRecord 在哪里：
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Size = 1024)]
public struct MFTRecord
{
const int BASE_RECORD_SIZE = 48;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 4)]
public string Type;
public short UsaOffset;
public short UsaCount;
public long Lsn; /* $LogFile sequence number for this record. Changed every time the record is modified. */
public short SequenceNumber; /* # of times this record has been reused */
public short LinkCount; /* Number of hard links, i.e. the number of directory entries referencing this record. */
public short AttributeOffset; /* Byte offset to the first attribute in this mft record from the start of the mft record. */
public short MftRecordFlags;
public int BytesInUse;
public int BytesAllocated;
public long BaseFileRecord;
public short NextAttributeNumber;
public short Reserved;
public int MftRecordNumber;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 976)]
public byte[] Data;
public byte[] SetData
{
get
{
return this.Data
.Skip(AttributeOffset - BASE_RECORD_SIZE)
.Take(BytesInUse - BASE_RECORD_SIZE)
.ToArray();
}
}
public MftAttribute[] Attributes
{
get
{
var idx = 0;
var ret = new List<MftAttribute>();
while (idx < SetData.Length)
{
var attr = MftAttribute.FromBytes(SetData.Skip(idx).ToArray());
ret.Add(attr);
idx += attr.Attribute.Length;
// A special "END" attribute denotes the end of the list
if (attr.Attribute.AttributeType == MftAttributeType.AT_END) break;
}
return ret.ToArray();
}
}
}
而且...这就是我现在逐渐消失的地方；主要是因为我想吃晚饭之类的。不过，我会回到这个话题！
