A brief description of the NTFS file system

The design of the NTFS file system is based on stability, security, and file systems that support mass storage devices:

1. It provides the log can increase the fault tolerance of the file system, can effectively protect the security of the system. NTFS is a recoverable file system. Even after you force shutdown on an NTFS partition, you typically do not need to run the Chkdsk command to repair the disk. The NTFS file system can guarantee partition consistency by using standard transaction log and recovery techniques. When a system failure event occurs. The NTFS file system automatically recovers file system consistency using log files and checkpoint information.

The 2.NTFS file system sees all the data as files, even the data that is recognized by the management files that are generated by the file system format are considered as files. The entire file system is a data area, unlike a FAT file system with a reserved area. This is the biggest difference it has with other file systems.

3.NTFS supports compression of partitions, folders, and files. Any Windows-based application that reads and writes compressed files on an NTFS partition can be read directly without needing decompression.

On a 4.NTFS partition, you can set permissions for shared resources, which can be minimized with this security risk, which is not possible in the FAT file system.

5. NTFS file systems can be disk quota management, and disk quotas are where administrators can limit the amount of disk space a user can use, and each user can use only the maximum quota range of disk space. The disk quota management feature makes it easy for administrators to allocate storage resources to users and avoid system crashes due to out-of-control disk space usage. thereby improving the security of the system.

The 6.NTFS file system can also be used under UNIX systems, in addition to being used under Windows systems.

7.NTFS support for capacity storage is very good and can support volume sizes up to 2TB.

8.NTFS, like the FAT file system, uses "clusters" as the smallest unit of data storage. But because it manages all of the data as a file. All sectors in the NTFS file system are assigned a cluster number and are numbered from all clusters starting with number No. 0.

Friends remind you that the NTFS file system is a knowledge point that must be mastered when learning data recovery, and it should be mastered skillfully. Because the NTFS file system accounts for most of the data recovery.
