Hi,
The problem is caused by the structure of compressed files. In ntfs,
16 clusters is the basic compressed unit. The original code assume
that the file will break in 16 cluster long blocks, but in fact, the
blocks will be merged if they are stored next to to each other on
disk. The new code fix this problem.
* fs/ntfs.c (read_block): Fix a bug caused by adjacent blocks.
