  • File ownership and permissions : the ownership and permissions of files, implemented according to POSIX rules, are interoperable with Windows.
  • POSIX ACLs : the ACLs, are an extension to ownership and permissions, as defined in a POSIX draft.
  • Junction points : the junction points and symbolic links created by Windows are seen as symbolic links.
  • Access to NTFS Internal data : a few useful internal data are mapped to [extended attributes](Extended Attributes) for easier access.
  • Compression : creating and updating compressed files are supported.
  • Access to plugins for processing special file formats, such as the system compression of Windows 10.
