The size of a file is the size of its unnamed data stream. Usually when youdon't specify stream name you are access to unnamed data stream. If you want access to named data stream youneed to add ":stream_name" to the filename. For example: by opening "some.mp3:artist" you will open stream"artist" in "some.mp3". But windows usually prevent you from accessing to named data streams, so you need touse some program like FAR or utils from cygwin to access named data streams.EXAMPLESCopy new_boot.ini from /home/user as boot.ini to the root of an /dev/hda1 NTFS volume:ntfscp /dev/hda1 /home/user/new_boot.ini boot.iniCopy myfile to C:\some\path\myfile:stream (assume that /dev/hda1 letter in windows is C):ntfscp -N stream /dev/hda1 myfile /some/pathBUGSThere are no known problems with ntfscp.
