Funny you should mention that, Steve... I was screwing around with this concept for Windows... NTFS seems to have a granularity of < 0ms, which I wanted to account for... Seems that NT, 2k, and XP have an executable in their normal path called CHKNTFS.EXE, which can detect the NTFS filesystem on local drives. Not perfect, but maybe a start... I thought about creating a static HashSet of NTFS File roots (drives) in FileUtils when Os.isFamily("windows"), but I was unable to decide how to behave, for example, when <copy>ing files from a known NTFS filesystem to another, and vice-versa.... any thoughts?
You can probe for NTFS by creating a file with a stream. e.g
foo.txt:1
WinXP uses streams to store metadata about things (music, photos), and whines when you copy them to FAT32. I know, I moved mine to fat32 to be acccesible on a multiboot system.
