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 think a better question would be: "what's not wrong with NTFS?"

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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
