lol @ a bunch of Linux losers hating on ntfs. go back to your hosed up file systems that don't even have working permissions, let alone auditing, encryption, or compression.

as far as I can tell NTFS is actually p deece but so is ext4??

NTFS is better than ext4 because ext4 was designed with Linux and the limitations of Linux in mind.

I wouldn't call NTFS ACL permissions "working"

Try updating permissions for a volume that has a couple million files on it, or enabling auditing at all, god help you if you actually use compression or encryption.
NTFS will poo poo the bed so fast it's not even funny. Corrupted volume shadow copies are also a constant headache, and it's SO loving slow! Good luck backing up your data!

Two of my favorite retarded windows-as-a-fileserver things is that mounted folders do not support browsing previous versions of files, it MUST have a drive letter: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753975(v=ws.11).aspx
And if you have a directory full of user homes Explorer will show all of them as "My Documents" instead of the real subdirectory name http://serverfault.com/questions/566279/shared-home-folders-on-file-server-listed-as-my-documents

Especially that last one is hilarious because Microsoft pretty much said "eh, it's too complicated to fix so we won't" on their own technet forums

the way permissions work is correct because each item needs a security descriptor otherwise the client has to compute it from parent descriptors every time.

also sounds like you've got a bad setup or something cause I've never had a problem w/ ntfs or file shares. Also wrt the home directories you are doing it really wrong somehow. you've got a shared drive and each folder is somehow flagged as a my documents link (which is a special link) instead of being a regular folder. Ive never seen user homes implemented in a way that would do what you're seeing.

a real good way to do user homes nowadays is to mount a vhd for it from the network.

i'm p sure the documents and other "special" shell folders are just defined by the contents of the desktop.ini file within, still. it's not a special folder attribute or anything, just data read from a file within the container

so yeah, you could cause that by having some idiotic folder redirection setting that put everyone's "document" folders in the same place, rather than the bog standard of giving each profile a subfolder based on the username

The idiotic folder redirection is built right into AD, actually


It's the established standard since forever, both because lots of software doesn't support UNC so you need to map the path as a drive letter, and if generally want users to see as little as possible of the world outside of their little box of user data.

The site specific fuckup might be to redirect My Documents directly to the user folder via GPO instead of a Documents subdirectory but it seems like a very common annoyance. The best part is that it didn't appear on windows 2003, but the new behaviour has been the same since Vista, and still exists in Windows 10 / Server 2016 afaik. I haven't bothered looking into it too much, I just use a different utility than explorer.exe to browse those user directories.

lmao. what's it like back in 2004? you know there's going to be a black president in four years? crazy right?

but seriously, that thing in ad is legacy as hell, you don't use that for a user profile or shell folders unless you want poo poo to break. you use folder redirection via gpo to map the profile folder to a unc path or if you have RDS/VDI use user profile disks like shaggs said

aslong as you don't override the defaults and push everyone's documents folder into the same location what was described simply doesn't happen and windows handles the appropriate folder ACLs on its own

The only reason Linux losers don't use NTFS by default is because most distros have extremely bad compatibility so they're forced to use extremely inefficient and slow trash like ext3 and ext4. Or maybe its not the file systems fault but the fault of insanely poor I/O software. At the end of the day though Windows just reads and writes files way faster than free as in garbage software.
