Summary: The ReactOS open-source operating system has matured its NTFS file-system driver. This allows ReactOS to be installed and used with NTFS, and NTFS formatting support is also now available.

ReactOS is an open-source operating system project based on the Windows NT architecture. NTFS file system support has been a critical step in this long-running project. Now, ReactOS can be installed and run with its own NTFS driver.

This development indicates progress in ReactOS’s kernel-level file system integration. The maturation of the NTFS driver allows the operating system to be compatible with a wider range of hardware and storage configurations. Additionally, NTFS formatting capability has also been added.

For infrastructure engineers, this could expand the potential use cases for ReactOS. NTFS support offers significant convenience, especially for those looking to run older Windows applications or set up specific test environments. However, further testing and stability observation will be required for production use.
