If they're incorporating open libraries, Hopefully support for real filesystems will be next

Humm, I doubt it as NTFS has ACLs built in to FS directly, so far I don't know if Linux FS has that feature, I know that ACLs exists in the Linux file world, but I don't know if they are built in durectly in the FS.

How would it be any different to the various FAT filesystems it supports now?

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

That is fair, I confused support with making windows run on them rather than being able to just read and write to them.

That is my mistake.

proof of concept installing windows on btrfs. It just requires an alternative bootloader

Very interesting, thank you for sharing, I thought NTFS was so ingrained in Windows that it could bot run on anything else.

Pretty much all Linux FS support ACLs and have for an eternity.

The thing is that nobody uses ACLs because the good ole user/group/world rwx scheme is much less of a hassle to work with in 99.9% of the cases and the remaining 0.01% can still be done.
