ntfs
Windows NT filesystem.
Implements filesystem.Filesystem. No cgo, no root.
Warning
Lightweight, test-oriented. Use a real NTFS implementation for on-disk compatibility.
Status
| Read | Write | Format | Label | Symlinks | On-disk format |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✕ | Minimal in-image blob model — NOT the real NTFS on-disk format |

- Directories, recursive delete, rename

Not implemented
- The NTFSIMG1 in-image driver does not implement real NTFS structures (MFT, ACLs, journaling)
