With NTFS, you also have security descriptors and some other things;
they're stored as files also, but they're carefully hidden by the
system. They probably shouldn't be more than about a gig in size on a
drive that size, though.  I don't know how big it should be, but I
would hope that that is an upper limit.  :)
