Learn about NTFS5's Distributed Link Tracking, sparse-file support, volume change tracking, encryption, and alternate data streams
In "Inside Win2K NTFS, Part 1," November 2000, I began this two-part series by describing general indexing, consolidated security, reparse points, and quota management, all of which are features new to NTFS 5.0 (NTFS5), the Windows 2000 version of NTFS. In this issue, I look at how NTFS5 implements Distributed Link Tracking (DLT), sparse-file support, volume change tracking, and encryption. I conclude with a look at alternate data streams, an NTFS feature rarely used before NTFS5.
