Open Source or bust.

Should be possible to write a FUSE driver for it, right?

I'm sure that this driver will see huge usage due to the massive adoption of REfs happening in Windows land.

On related news, is their ExtFS driver for windows worth anything? I've only seen mixed reviews of it.

I don't follow Windows at all. Is ReFS really taking off? I thought NTFS was still >90%.

hmm why is there no file id support on extfs wont it make some server operations faster?

I was being sarcastic. ReFS is for Windows servers and even then it's not fully finished.

ReFS is great but for some reasons doesn't include compression.

It is done and considered stable. Also since Creators Update, it made it into normal W10 versions too. It still boots from NTFS, but you can freely format other partitions using REFS.

And face a plethora of issues and lack of features everyone took for granted in NTFS https://ctrl.blog/entry/adventures-in-refs

No thanks, it's clearly designed for server usecase with no regard to desktop.
