He is talking about the NTFS file filter stack.

Ah, a bit meh. Haiku OS/Be did similar queries with BFS and yet it can be much faster on SSD's.

Ok, no proper permissions/ACL's, but NTFS it's on par on EXT3 performance with some additions.

It needs two news FS', one for desktops and another one for the enteprise. Linux' ones should be F2FS for flash media and BcacheFS for the professional storage needs.


It looks like you have zero familiarity with NTFS. NTFS had a far more fine grained ACL model since version 1. Perhaps linux caught up several decades later. I am not really sure.

I am also not sure why you insist on arguing about a topic you are not familiar with at all.
