New Technology File System
- Design started as new FS for OS/3 (32-bit OS/2)
before that was renamed to Windows NT
- Organisation like a database, everything, including
the FS administration itself is a FILE represented
by an entry in the Master File table (MFT)
- Can handle extreme sizes due to 64 bit values used
- All data represented by attribute values, with the data being the 'default data attribute'. Supports
multiple data-streams for a single file.
- Has native support for OS/2 EA's (as MFT attribute)
