This is the FileSystem used by OperatingSystem~s based on MicrosoftCorporation's [WindowsNT]. It fixes many of the Nasty Nasty problems of [FAT32]: it has proper long file name support, permissions, journalling, and better data internal structures (zones of data with information about that zone being stored at the beginning or end, as most other FileSystems), and is less prone to fragmentation. It also has advanced features like alternative streams for files and transparent per-file compression and encryption.
-[Linux] can usually read [NTFS] [Partition]s, and it can write to them sometimes without completely screwing them up. This situation appears to have improved as many developers seem to be working on the [NTFS] driver. Check out the [Linux NTFS Project | http://www.linux-ntfs.org/]. An intesting stopgap solution is [Captive | http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/], which runs MicrosoftWindows' own <tt>ntfs.sys</tt> so that you get feature complete, safe read/write support for [NTFS] volumes under [Linux].

[IanMcDonald]'s experience is that this driver can write and delete sometimes but other times just refuses to do it but it is still better than the [LinuxKernel] drivers.

[NTFS] originally grew out of Microsoft's collaboration with [IBM] over [OS/2].
