Would you care to explain the how and why of NTFS doing “quasi-journalizing” compared to BFS and Linux Ext3? NTFS uses a journal for the file attributes/metadata, be they extended or not: just like BFS does in terms of what’s written to the journal. Which filesystem is this? That’s still being decided! Observation seems to point that Ext4 will likely be relegated to much the same evolutionary role of FAT32: it will exist for a time for sufficient backwards compatibility mode while some other filesystem that ultimately replaces it is adopted over time. What does the history of Microsoft and the FAT mutants demonstrate as being the most likely progression? Well, they went from something very simple to describe and implement, but limited for scalability, to something radically different that’s much more complicated to describe and implement that also provides much richer functionality than what it replaced, and completely dumped the old filesystem that was before it, while simultaneously evolving the old filesystem alongside the newer one in a transition period.

Then again, there’s always also the BeOS filesystem, too, which has been 64 bit from way back when, using extents as well, as well as being journaled.īoth of the above mentioned filesystems have existed long before Ext4 was planned, and are stable, and work well for most things, but no single OS or filesystem I’m aware of is “perfect” or “optimal” for all things except (best case) for fulfilling ideological wet dreams.

The biggest pity is that Microsoft hasn’t just made the data structures and all that goes with it fully documented for outsiders to use, because NTFS could readily become the data-exchange format standard that’s interoperable between all other OS’s, just as FAT filesystems are currently a lowest common denominator. Yeah, that’s right: the FAT filesystems took a conceptually similar path, from FAT12 to FAT16 and mutations of it, to FAT32, for the DOS/Windows world, all in the name of backwards compatibility (mostly) while still keeping limits on them that weren’t justified with current technology already available, such as NTFS, which has (IIRC) been 64-bit address capable with the huge files (64 bit) since… 1993 as the final release build of the first working version of the filesystem, including journaling, even then.
