An NTFS reparse point is a type of NTFS file system object. It is available with the NTFS v3.0 found in Windows 2000 or later versions. Reparse points provide a way to extend the NTFS filesystem. A reparse point contains a reparse tag and data that are interpreted by a filesystem filter driver identified by the tag.
When the Object Manager parses a file system name lookup and encounters a reparse attribute, it will reparse the name lookup, passing the user controlled reparse data to every file system filter driver that is loaded into Windows. Each filter driver examines the reparse data to see whether it is associated with that reparse point, and if that ...
Reparse Point (L): The file or directory has an associated re-parse point, or is a symbolic link. Offline (O): The file data is physically moved to offline storage (Remote Storage). Sparse (P): The file is a sparse file, i.e., its contents are partially empty and non-contiguous. Temporary (T): The file is used for temporary storage.
A hard link "points" to an MFT record. That target record will be the record for a "regular" file, such as a text file or executable (assuming the NTFS volume is in a normal "healthy" state). Compare with a typical Unix file system, where a hard link points to an inode. As in such file systems, an NTFS hard link cannot point to a directory.
ReFS supports many existing Windows and NTFS features such as BitLocker encryption, Access Control Lists, USN Journal, change notifications, [9] symbolic links, junction points, mount points, reparse points, volume snapshots, file IDs, and oplock.
The file system of the Michigan Terminal System (MTS) is interesting because: (i) it provides "line files" where record lengths and line numbers are associated as metadata with each record in the file, lines can be added, replaced, updated with the same or different length records, and deleted anywhere in the file without the need to read and ...

A log record in a CLFS stream is first placed to Log I/O Block in a buffer in system memory. Periodically blocks are flushed to stable storage devices. On the storage device, a log contains a set of Containers, which are allocated contiguously, each containing multiple Log I/O Blocks. New log records are appended to the present set.
