    HFS+ has a different features set than NTFS or ext4, Apple elect to store metadata that way.

    I would imagine modern FS like ZFS or btrfs could benefit from doing something similar but nobody has chosen to implement something like that in that way.

        I gotcha:

        • Btrfs
          • BTree File System
            • A Copy on White file system that supports snapshots, supported mostly by
        • ZFS
          • Zetabyte File System
            • Copy on Write File System. Less flexible than BTRFS but generally more robust and stable. Better compression in my experience than BTRFS. Out of Kernel Linux support and native FreeBSD.
        • HFS+
          • what Mac uses, I have no clue about this. some Copy on Write stuff.
        • NTFS
          • Windows File System
          • From what I know, no compression or COW
          • In my experience less stable than ext4/ZFS but maybe it’s better nowadays.
