NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁 - eviltoast

Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍

    I’ll try. Short: It’s not as powerful as ZFS.

    Examples:

    • no low cost snapshots (don’t harm performance)
    • no checksums, no self-healing
    • 256 TB limit
    • magical reserved $ and OneDrive filenames
    • magical 8.3 mapping
    • broken standard API calls (CreateFileW instead of fopen)

      also ntfs doesn’t support many common symbols. so you can’t use them
