An attribute has a length and a type field. At its heart an MFT (Master File Table) record is a collection of fields (they call them attributes). Its a haven for puzzle solvers, those who love 'cracking the code', but not those of us who have a more goal oriented mindset ("we just want to store and retrieve stuff").ĭepends what changes. I suspect I'm not alone - interacting with Microsoft's technology has been an exercise in frustration since the beginning, its usually a straightforward and not necessarily novel concept buried under multiple layers of obscurification.

I would certainly join such an effort but although I've got more than enough experience in these areas I don't think I have the necessary knowledge, patience and persistence to do anything other than be a code jockey. This is why you've never seen an ext4 subsystem for Windows (for example) despite Microsoft's claimed ongoing commitment to support Linux - it would require a commitment to something they can't control. Microsoft doesn't exactly go out of its way to make its technology transparent or stable because that invites competition. You're also going to be shooting at a moving target. In the case of NTFS it probably is 99% of users would not be able to get to grips with it in a timely way. While you might know about ext, ufs, etc, unless you have been digging around and doing your own research, you won't know if the NTFS code offered is 'correct' (I'm using the term in a general sense). You can see the reaction when the NTFS code was released: instant hostility, not a friendly welcome with some advice.Ģ7,000 lines of code is a fair amount to go through. Many of them are not interested in the Linux kernel (sometimes being put off by the frequent hostility that can be found on the LKML). Many of them are not involved in open source. There are plenty of good programmers out there.

The Go Forum is good and helpful, and not full of snarky people. There are tutorials out there for doing trickier stuff, but they are far fewer in number.

There are umpteen tutorials on the web for 'setting up a basic web server'. Go is a good choice being fairly new and also quite topical. Easy coding is easy, and difficult coding is not within the capability of a lot of people who advocate open source. My experience of open source over the last 25 years: a lot of people talk the talk, a lot of people say 'use open source', but they themselves cannot read something much more complicated than 'hello world'.
