themachinestopsReFS is better than NTFS, but Microsoft refuses to let regular users have it
May I be the first one here to say… Fuck Microslop
It’s not ready yet. It’s good for some specific use cases but it’s not anything the typical end user needs.
RedEye FlightControlThis. NTFS is still the gold standard for stability. ReFS is meant for data ops, and while it’s fairly stable, and offers a lot of advantages, it’s not perfect and can suffer greatly if used incorrectly. Until the quirks are gone, users are probably better off with NTFS for a lot of reasons.
undefinedRight? I’ve gone through ReiserFS, ext3, ext4, XFS, ZFS; hell on macOS I’ve been through HFS+ and AFS. And clunky ol’ Microsoft is still on fucking NTFS.
AppoxoApple’s APFS I am not a fan of. I have been using Macs since 2008-ish. In all my HFS+ days, I’ve never lost an entire drive. I rebooted my M2 Mac Mini via command prompt, and my external APFS drive is corrupted. Never had that problem before APFS. And since I’m an idiot, I’ve got to pay DiskDrill to hopefully recover the data when I get a larger drive on hand.
MwaI wish Microsoft adopted and upstreamed changes to OpenZFS instead of duplicating all this effort.
It could be Sco vs Linux all over again
ryannathansJust like systemd is experiencing right?
eh, I was thinking like Google and that open chat protocol.
Though I do dislike some of systemd’s architecture decisions as well. Like why tha fuck can I not turn off it’s own built in authentication to sudo mechanism -_-
I agree but just don’t otherwise understand why Microsoft is so obsessed with extending system in the manner they currently are
nightchromeProblem is Microsoft has zero interest in zfs. Not even as far as answering questions the openzfs windows dev asks them.
daggermoonDoes Windows support any filesystems that don’t suck?
KairuByteNTFS? It’s a standard for a reason. Most of the “better” options out there aren’t ready for mainstream/average user use.
I need the better options. I need to be able to detect corruption. ZFS and btrfs let me do that.
Why would you use either over btrFS?

𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘What a click bait title. Article goes on to explain the rational reasons why ReFS wasn’t built for mainstream use and doing so might bloat its performance on the very server systems it was designed to be efficient for.
Hi, I’m an AI engineer based in Japan, and I’m expanding into the U.S. market to work with more long-term clients. I’m looking for an American or European collaborator who can act as a communication bridge between me and U.S. clients.
I will handle the technical side myself, including project planning, AI development, and software implementation. Your role would be to join meetings, help with smooth communication, and support the client relationship side.
If this sounds like a good fit, please send me a message.
