Can't remember which fs, though. Do you perhaps have very large directories? Hanzo said :. Adynathos said :. The question is, is it? And is there anything I can do about it? And why haven't the benchmarks online caught this? Eh, I'm going to say, "probably" and just be content that it even works cross platform. Now, if only we could test on the alter-OS you formatted the disk to be cross-compatible for Seems to be. From wikipedia :. This appears to be confirmed in other places :.
That's talking about FAT rather than exFAT, but other documents lead me to believe the important parts aren't incorrect. NTFS keeps all the directories inside the Master File Table, which it goes to some lengths to keep contiguous and optimally placed. I would not be at all surprised to learn that operations involving recursive directory tree walking run a lot faster on NTFS than on any variety of FAT.
Not to mention that last I knew, any non-MS implementation that supports writes either only supports ancient versions of NTFS, or are so buggy they're not useable. RaceProUK said :. Well then, it seems the situation has improved since I last looked. Are your drives different models? I believe that's related to the journal log, which is a very twitchy format that's not really touchable if you're not MS's own implementation.
If the log is empty i. Whether or not it is possible, it's a Bad Idea either way round. Dreikin said :. Anyway, I tried to restart yesterday, and the entire pc froze during the bios check. Only removing the new exfat hdd would make it boot again. Nothing to do with exfat. Nevertheless, it throws the entire benchmark into doubt. Seems more likely to me that it relates to the fact that a hibernated snapshot of a running system is unlikely to have the filesystem in a clean state, as the hibernated image will almost certainly include cached filesystem structures relating to files that were open at the time hibernation was initiated.
The current ntfs-3g implementation on Linux is pretty good. About the only real trouble I've ever had with it has been due to its ability to create NTFS directory entries that include characters Win32 doesn't allow. There's also a fundamental mismatch between NTFS and Unix access control models; ntfs-3g includes a bunch of stuff to help with reconciling that, but it's a little complicated to set up you have to create an explicit mapping between Windows SIDs and Unix user IDs so most of the time it doesn't get used.
This works well on external drives that get moved around from box to box. The ntfs-3g devs have a commercial offering for OS X. Though many unix filesystems actually support ACLs these days, hardly any software supports them, and instead usually just assumes the simple POSIX model which is good enough for most things.
When combined with the ID mapping problem — particularly acute for external devices — it's no wonder that people just punt on the complexity most of the time. A simple hack gives better usability in practice than doing anything more accurate. This might be an indication that things are actually too complicated for most users on both sides of the OS divide….
EDIT: I read again, my reading comprehension is not full strength now. Do not waste your time reading this! Did it keep its own ACL table somewhere or something? Only academically interested, I'm not going to install XP just to investigate this! This happened because Microsoft's early unattended installation tools were just horribly broken, if I'm remembering them right.
Took them a long time to release something that didn't involve being started from DOS, formatting the disk with FAT32, then running an NTFS conversion step after the actual Windows installation had completed. Creating limited user accounts on such installations was completely pointless, and defragging was positively painful. Inb4 : "The Bad Ideas thread is ". ExFAT is that anything watching for changes Grunt, etc. Well, Linux knows what's going on on its local filesystems, but maybe Windows doesn't have a similar API available.
They make royalties off of exFAT by licensing it. Why would they make something that makes them money inferior on purpose?! MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition is a free partition manager trusted by tens of millions of users. Step 1. Install it on your computer and launch it to get the main interface. Free Download. Step 2. Step 4. After the conversion is completed, you can click Close to exit the window. It is a file system introduced by Microsoft in , which is similar to FAT32 files system, but does not have the limits of FAT32 file system.
Both of them have no realistic file-size or partition-size limits. Both of them are suitable for removable devices due to their compatibility. FAT32 is compatible with more very old operating systems. Install and launch it to get its main interface. Hello, I have an SSD for gaming. When you have a new solid-state drive or external hard drive, you may wonder which file system is better for it.
Since Microsoft published it initially in , they have built in lots of improvements and features over exFAT and other file systems, including,. It is very helpful when you have large increasing data on your drive, and you can make full use of your disk space.
As for users who stores sensitive information, this feature can be necessary.
