Well, ls and inodes ;-)

Not quite. They're part of the ntfs filesystem as Brian described.

If you mount an ntfs drive under linux using something like

mount -t ntfs -o show_sys_files=true /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

You'll see the $files like $MFT via the ls command: ls -l \$MFT or ls
-l \$*

Or you can use ntfsinfo to see the MFT:

ntfsinfo -f -d /dev/hda1 -i 0
