Master File Table definition
Master File Table the Master File Table (MFT) contains the metadata of the files in a NTFS volume. For each file, the MFT holds the metadata (like timestamps, filename, size, permissions) and the allocation of blocks for the files data. The location of the MFT itself is stored in the boot sector [2]. To prevent fragmentation of the MFT itself, space is reserved for future growth. • Resident files: resident files are files that do not have allocated blocks. Their data is fully stored in their record in the MFT. Typically, a resident file has a maximum size of about 700 to 800 bytes [2]. Note that resident files by definition cannot be fragmented, since no blocks are allocated to them.
