Exceptions, if any, are noted in this section. If an update version, service pack or Knowledge Base (KB) number appears with a product name, the behavior changed in that update. The new behavior also applies to subsequent updates unless otherwise specified. If a product edition appears with the product version, behavior is different in that product edition.

Unless otherwise specified, any statement of optional behavior in this specification that is prescribed using the terms "SHOULD" or "SHOULD NOT" implies product behavior in accordance with the SHOULD or SHOULD NOT prescription. Unless otherwise specified, the term "MAY" implies that the product does not follow the prescription.

<1> Section 2.1.2.1: All reparse tags defined by Microsoft components MUST have the high bit set to 1. Non-Microsoft reparse tags MUST have the high bit set to 0.

<2> Section 2.1.2.1: These are Microsoft reparse tags. Except where explicitly allowed, clients MUST NOT process the Microsoft reparse tag data buffers.

<3> Section 2.1.2.1: The Windows Home Server Drive Extender is part of the Windows Home Server product.

<4> Section 2.1.2.1: The filter manager test harness is not shipped with Windows.

<5> Section 2.1.3.1: When a file is moved or copied from one volume to another, the ObjectId member value changes to a random unique value to avoid the potential for ObjectId collisions because the object ID is not guaranteed to be unique across volumes.

<6> Section 2.1.3.1: The NTFS file system places no constraints on the format of the 48 bytes of information following the ObjectId in this structure. This format of the FILE_OBJECTID_BUFFER is used on Windows by the Microsoft Distributed Link Tracking Service (see [MS-DLTW] section 3.1.6).

<7> Section 2.1.3.2: Windows places Distributed Link Tracking (DLT) information into the ExtendedInfo field for use by the Distributed Link Tracking (DLT) protocols (see [MS-DLTW] section 3.1.6).

<8> Section 2.1.4: The following Windows file systems provide alternate data stream functionality: NTFS, ReFS and Universal Disk Format (UDF). ReFS supports alternate data streams of up to 128 KB in length in Windows 8.1 and later. ReFS does not support renaming of alternate data streams.

<9> Section 2.1.8: Windows defines a TRUE as "1"; however, it will interpret any nonzero value as TRUE.

<10> Section 2.1.9: The following table lists the file systems that support the 64-bit file ID:

64 bit file ID	Generate	Stable	Unique
FAT	Yes	No	No
EXFAT	Yes	No	No
FAT32	Yes	No	No
Cdfs	No	n/a	n/a
UDFS	Yes	Yes	Yes
NTFS	Yes	Yes	Yes
ReFS	Yes	Yes	Yes

NTFS computes the 64-bit file ID as follows: the low 48 bits are the index of the file's primary record in the master file table (MFT); the remaining 16 bits are a sequence number. Therefore, it is possible, though rare, that a different file can have the same 64-bit file ID as a file on that volume had in the past.

ReFS maps a subset of the possible 128-bit file ID values to a 64-bit value using a reversible algorithm; for values outside of this subset, ReFS sets the 64-bit file ID to -1.

<11> Section 2.1.10: The following table lists the file systems that support the 128-bit file ID:

128 bit file ID	Generate	Stable	Unique
FAT	No	n/a	n/a
EXFAT	No	n/a	n/a
FAT32	No	n/a	n/a
Cdfs	No	n/a	n/a
UDFS	No	n/a	n/a
NTFS	Yes	Yes	Yes
ReFS	Yes	Yes	Yes

NTFS computes the 128-bit file ID as follows: the low 48 bits are the index of the file's primary record in the master file table (MFT), the next 16 bits are a sequence number, and the high 64 bits MUST be zero. Therefore, it is possible, though rare, that a different file can have the same 128-bit file ID as a file on that volume had in the past.

ReFS computes the 128-bit file ID as follows: the low 64 bits consists of an index uniquely identifying the file's parent directory on the volume. The high 64-bits consists of an index uniquely identifying the file within that directory.

<12> Section 2.1.11: The Token is defined in [INCITS-T10/11-059].

<13> Section 2.1.11: When provided by a client to a server for an FSCTL_OFFLOAD_WRITE operation, this Token value requests that the server logically write zeros.

<14> Section 2.2: NTFS supports reparse points, object IDs, and the update sequence number (USN) change journal; ReFS supports reparse points and the USN change journal. The Microsoft FAT, EXFAT, CDFS, and UDFS file systems do not support these attributes. Therefore, FSCTLs involving these technologies will return STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST when the specified file or directory is located on a volume formatted with the FAT file system. Windows also returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST when a required file system filter is supported by the file system but is not installed (see section 2.3.90).

<15> Section 2.2: The following table lists FSCTLs that are not supported remotely and that, if received by the object store, will respond with a status code other than STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST, as specified in section 2.2.

FSCTL name	FSCTL function number	Status Code
FSCTL_GET_BOOT_AREA_INFO	0x90230	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_GET_RETRIEVAL_POINTER_BASE	0x90234	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_IS_VOLUME_DIRTY	0x90078	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_ALLOW_EXTENDED_DASD_IO	0x90083	STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
FSCTL_LOOKUP_STREAM_FROM_CLUSTER	0x901FC	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_EXTEND_VOLUME	0x900F0	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_SHRINK_VOLUME	0x901B0	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_FILE_PREFETCH	0x90120	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_SET_PERSISTENT_VOLUME_STATE	0x90238	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_QUERY_PERSISTENT_VOLUME_STATE	0x9023C	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
FSCTL_SD_GLOBAL_CHANGE	0x901F4	STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

<16> Section 2.3: The NtFsControlFile function is used to invoke an FSCTL on a file handle. The definition of this function, including its content and the function signature, is implementation-dependent, and is not part of the protocol specification.

<17> Section 2.3.2: Windows will try 16 times to generate a unique ID, and will fail with this status if 16 attempts have been unsuccessful.

<18> Section 2.3.7: FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE is only supported by the ReFS file system in Windows Server 2016 and later.

<19> Section 2.3.8: FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE is only supported by the ReFS file system in Windows Server 2016 and later.

<20> Section 2.3.8: Applicable Windows Server releases return STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE if the source file handle is closed, and STATUS_FILE_CLOSED if the target file handle is closed.

<21> Section 2.3.9: FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE_EX request is only supported by the ReFS file system in Windows 10 v1803 operating system and Windows Server v1803 operating system.

<22> Section 2.3.10: FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE_EX reply is only supported by the ReFS file system in Windows 10 v1803 and Windows Server v1803.

<23> Section 2.3.11: This FSCTL is implemented on ReFS, NTFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems. Other file systems return STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST.

<24> Section 2.3.12: This FSCTL is implemented on ReFS, NTFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems. Other file systems return STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST.

<25> Section 2.3.16: NTFS always returns at least 2 bytes and up to 8 bytes of trailing padding after each entry in the reply, including the last entry.

<26> Section 2.3.18: The LZNT1 is the only compression algorithm implemented on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

<27> Section 2.3.18: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 support file compression on volumes that are formatted with the NTFS file system and have a cluster size less than or equal to 4 kilobytes.

<28> Section 2.3.19: The FSCTL_GET_INTEGRITY_INFORMATION_Request (section 2.3.19) message is supported only by the ReFS file system.

<29> Section 2.3.28:

Windows NT 4.0 returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on an NTFS, FAT, or CDFS file system.
Windows 2000 returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on a FAT or CDFS file system.
Windows XP returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on a FAT or CDFS file system.
Windows Server 2003 returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on a FAT or CDFS file system.
Windows Vista returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on a FAT or CDFS file system.
Windows Server 2008 returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on a FAT or CDFS file system.
Windows 7 returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on a FAT or CDFS file system.
Windows Server 2008 R2 returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST for a file on a FAT or CDFS file system.

<30> Section 2.3.30: On an NTFS volume, very short data streams (typically several hundred bytes) can be written to disk without having any clusters allocated. These short streams are sometimes called resident because the data resides in the file's master file table (MFT) record. A resident data stream has no retrieval pointers to return.

<31> Section 2.3.32: On an NTFS volume, very short data streams (typically several hundred bytes) can be written to disk without having any clusters allocated. These short streams are sometimes called resident because the data resides in the file's master file table (MFT) record. A resident data stream has no retrieval pointers to return.

<32> Section 2.3.33: The FSCTL_GET_RETRIEVAL_POINTERS_AND_REFCOUNT request is supported only on ReFS and Windows 10 v1703 operating system and later and Windows Server 2019 and later.

<33> Section 2.3.34: On an ReFS volume, all alternate data streams are resident and all default data streams are non-resident. A resident data stream has no retrieval pointers to return.

<34> Section 2.3.36: Windows NT operating system, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system support the FSCTL_IS_PATHNAME_VALID Request (section 2.3.35) and return STATUS_SUCCESS whenever this request is invoked.

<35> Section 2.3.39: This operation is supported only by the NTFS and ReFS file systems.

<36> Section 2.3.41: Offload Read operations are supported only by the NTFS file system running on Windows 8 and later.

<37> Section 2.3.41: Clients and servers cannot depend on the TokenTimeToLive field as a true timer, because vendors can choose to ignore the requested TTL value or can implement the TTL counter in a vendor-specific manner. The TokenTimeToLive field can be interpreted as a hint.

<38> Section 2.3.41: The generated Token can represent less data than the requested amount; this information is contained in the TransferLength field in the FSCTL_OFFLOAD_READ_OUTPUT data element; for more information, see section 2.3.42.

<39> Section 2.3.42: In the following two cases, a well-known token, STORAGE_OFFLOAD_TOKEN_TYPE_ZERO_DATA, is returned, even if the target volume does not support Offload Read:

If FSCTL_OFFLOAD_READ_INPUT.FileOffset is greater than or equal to the Valid Data Length (VDL) of the file.
Or, if FSCTL_OFFLOAD_READ_INPUT.CopyLength is 0.

<40> Section 2.3.42: File reads can start beyond the Valid Data Length (VDL), but not beyond EOF.

<41> Section 2.3.43: Offload Write operations are supported only by the NTFS file system running on Windows 8 and later.

<42> Section 2.3.43: The FSCTL_OFFLOAD_READ and FSCTL_OFFLOAD_WRITE is used by Windows to copy large files.

When copying files, Windows avoids using offload operations on volumes that do not support offload. However, it is possible that the source volume and the destination volume both support offload, yet offload cannot occur from the source volume to the destination volume because of SAN topology or storage array compatibility issues. When this happens, Windows avoids repeated offload attempts between these two volumes.

There is currently no reliable way to detect unreachable volume pairs because there is no unique status code for this scenario. STATUS_INVALID_TOKEN can be returned for a variety of reasons including unreachable volume pairs or a token expiration due to time-out.

In a best effort to detect unreachable volume pairs, Windows assumes a pair of volumes is not reachable if all the following are true:

This is the first token write on the file stream.
The FSCTL_OFFLOAD_WRITE request returns with a status code of STATUS_INVALID_TOKEN.
The Offload Write operation is made at offset 0 in the destination file.

Windows chunks data for Offload Write operations into segments of 256 MB, a size that is subject to change.

<43> Section 2.3.44: While it is valid to issue a single Offload Write operation for the full contents of a file, the Win32 CopyFileEx API does not perform this. Instead, CopyFileEx issues Offload Write operations in 256-MB chunks so that components like Explorer can show proper progress of file copy operations.

<44> Section 2.3.52: Each entry in the output array contains an offset and a length that indicates a range in the file that can contain nonzero data. The actual nonzero data, if any, is somewhere within this range, and the calling application scans further within the range to locate it and determines if it really is valid data. Multiple instances of valid data can exist within the range.

<45> Section 2.3.52: Sparse files are supported by Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. The NTFS file system rounds down the input file offset to a 65,536-byte (64-kilobyte) boundary, rounds up the length to a convenient boundary, and then begins to walk through the file.

<46> Section 2.3.52: Windows does not track every piece of zero (0) or nonzero data. Because zero (0) is often perfectly legal data, it would be misleading. Instead, the system tracks ranges in which disk space is allocated. Where no disk space is allocated, all data bytes within that range for Length bytes from FileOffset are assumed to be zero (0) (when data is read, NTFS returns a zero for every byte in a sparse region). Allocated storage can contain zero (0) or nonzero data. So all that this operation does is return information on parts of the file where nonzero data might be located. It is up to the application to scan these parts of the file in accordance with the application's data conventions.

<47> Section 2.3.55: This region usage flag can only be specified for volumes using the NTFS file system.

<48> Section 2.3.55: This region usage flag can only be specified for volumes using the ReFS file system.

<49> Section 2.3.56.1: The NTFS file system is the only file system that returns this region usage value.

<50> Section 2.3.56.1: The ReFS file system is the only file system that returns this region usage value.

<51> Section 2.3.58: The following is the Windows UDF File System Support table. It lists the UDF revisions and "builds" (VAT/Spared/Write) that are supported by each covered version of Windows.

Windows	UDF V1.02	UDF V1.5	UDF V2.01	UDF V2.5	UDF 2.6
95 / 95OSR2	-	-	-	-	-
Windows 98	Read	-	-	-	-
Windows NT	-	-	-	-	-
Windows 2000	Read	Read	-	-	-
Windows XP	Read	Read	Read	-	-
Windows Server 2003	Read	Read	Read	-	-
Windows Vista	Read/Write	Read/Write	Read/Write	Read/Write	-
Windows 7 and later and Windows Server 2008 and later	Read/Write	Read/Write	Read/Write	Read/Write	Read/Write

Note If Read of a given UDF version is supported, then reading of all UDF variants of that version are supported (VAT, Sparing and Simple). If Read/Write of a given UDF version is supported, then reading/writing of all UDF variants of that version are supported (VAT, Sparing and Simple).

<52> Section 2.3.58: The Windows UDF implementation pads the entire CopyrightInfo field with NULLs.

<53> Section 2.3.58: The Windows UDF implementation pads the entire AbstractInfo field with NULLs.

<54> Section 2.3.58: When the volume is formatted on Windows, this value is set to "*Microsoft Windows" followed by Unicode NULLs.

<55> Section 2.3.58: When the volume is written to on a Windows system, this value is set to "*Microsoft Windows" followed by Unicode NULLs.

<56> Section 2.3.61: This operation is supported by both the NTFS and ReFS file systems.

<57> Section 2.3.61: Currently supported values are 2 or 3. The MinMajorVersion is <= MaxMajorVersion.

<58> Section 2.3.61: Currently supported values are 2 or 3. The MinMajorVersion is <= MaxMajorVersion.

<59> Section 2.3.62.1: The major version number is 2 for file systems created on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

<60> Section 2.3.62.1: The minor version number is 0 for file systems created on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

<61> Section 2.3.62.2: The contents of a USN_RECORD_V2 or USN_RECORD_V3 element returned by this FSCTL is a partially populated record compared to the fully populated records returned by a local-only FSCTL FSCTL_READ_USN_JOURNAL.

<62> Section 2.3.67: Equivalent to COMPRESSION_FORMAT_LZNT1.

<63> Section 2.3.67: The LZNT1 is the only compression algorithm implemented on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. Therefore, requests for COMPRESSION_FORMAT_DEFAULT and COMPRESSION_FORMAT_LZNT1 are equivalent from the server's perspective.

<64> Section 2.3.71: This message is implemented only on NTFS, and it is only for private use by the Encrypted File System (EFS). EFS issues this message locally on the machine that physically contains the file, notifying NTFS of a change in the file/stream attributes and causing NTFS to invoke the EFS callback that does the actual work of encrypting/decrypting streams.

This message is not used by any other component other than local EFS on Windows. It is not sent by the SMB1 and SMB2 client redirectors, nor is it accepted by an SMB2 server. In order to manipulate the encryption state of files and streams, clients use EFS and the EFSRPC protocol specified in [MS-EFSR].

<65> Section 2.3.71: The SMB1 server does not currently fail the FSCTL_SET_ENCRYPTION Request (section 2.3.71) if received. A QFE is planned to address this issue for the SMB1 server.

<66> Section 2.3.71: Windows sets the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYPTED flag in the duplicate information file attributes field, and invokes the EFS callback which then creates the $EFS attribute.

<67> Section 2.3.71: Windows takes the following actions to clear encryption:

Clears the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYPTED flag in the duplicate information file attributes field.
Invokes the EFS callback, which removes the $EFS attribute.

<68> Section 2.3.71: Windows takes the following actions to set encryption on a stream:

If the stream is a resident user data stream, converts it to non-resident.
Sets ATTRIBUTE_FLAG_ENCRYPTED in the attribute header.
Invokes the EFS callback to generate an encryption context for this stream.

Note that if this is called during the creation of a named data attribute on a file with an empty unnamed data attribute, then the unnamed data attribute will be converted to non-resident and its attribute header flag will be set to encrypted.

Also note that this will set the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYPTED flag if it is the first stream on the file that is encrypted.

<69> Section 2.3.71: Windows clears the ATTRIBUTE_FLAG_ENCRYPTED flag from the attribute header and invokes the EFS callback to free the encryption context for the stream.

<70> Section 2.3.71: The Private field is a placeholder marking the beginning of the private portion of the encryption buffer structure. This portion of the structure is meaningful only to EFS, because all the information necessary to fill (making a well-formed request) is private to EFS. Windows uses the EFSRPC protocol as specified in [MS-EFSR] to manipulate file encryption state.

<71> Section 2.3.72: An FSCTL_SET_ENCRYPTION operation never succeeds unless it is requested by the Encrypted File System (EFS), because the information necessary to make a well-formed request is visible only to EFS, as FSCTL_SET_ENCRYPTION is only for private use by EFS. Windows uses the EFSRPC protocol as specified in [MS-EFSR] to manipulate file encryption state.

<72> Section 2.3.72: On Windows, encryption requires NTFS major version 2 or greater.

<73> Section 2.3.72: Windows returns this error code if the NTFS encryption driver is not loaded or the FILE_CLEAR_ENCRYPTION operation was requested on a file containing a stream that is still marked as encrypted.

<74> Section 2.3.72: Windows returns this error code if the $INDEX_ROOT attribute of the directory that was trying to be encrypted, could not be found.

<75> Section 2.3.73: The FSCTL_SET_INTEGRITY_INFORMATION Request (section 2.3.73) message is supported only by the ReFS file system.

<76> Section 2.3.75: The FSCTL_SET_INTEGRITY_INFORMATION_EX Request message is supported only by Windows Server 2022 and later, and Windows 11, version 22H2 operating system and later. FSCTL_SET_INTEGRITY_INFORMATION_EX is processed as described on systems updated with [MSKB-5014019], [MSKB-5014021], [MSKB-5014022], [MSKB-5014023], or [MSKB-5014702].

<77> Section 2.3.77: Windows expects that the file whose object identifier is set with this FSCTL has been opened for write and that backup/restore operations were specified at file open. In Windows, this is accomplished by specifying the flag, FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS (whose value is 0x02000000), along with other attributes such as FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL when opening the file.

<78> Section 2.3.77: All Windows versions: This request is never sent to a remote server.

<79> Section 2.3.79: The Microsoft Distributed Link Tracking Service uses the last 48 bytes of the ExtendedInfo BLOB to store information that helps it locate files that are moved to different volumes or computers within a domain. For more information, see [MS-DLTW] section 3.1.6.

<80> Section 2.3.83: This operation is supported by both the NTFS and ReFS file systems. ReFS supports this operation for conventional streams, but not for integrity streams, in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. ReFS supports this operation for both conventional and integrity streams in Windows 8.1 and later.

<81> Section 2.3.83: NTFS does not attempt to recover a failed unsparse operation by "resparsing".

<82> Section 2.3.83: Neither NFTS or ReFS deallocate existing clusters.

<83> Section 2.3.85: This operation is supported by both the NTFS and ReFS file systems.

Upon receipt of this message, NTFS might deallocate disk space in the file if the file is stored on an NTFS volume and the file is sparse or compressed. It will free any allocated space in chunks of 64 kilobytes that begin at an offset that is a multiple of 64 kilobytes. Other bytes in the file (prior to the first freed 64-kilobyte chunk and after the last freed 64-kilobyte chunk) will be zeroed but not deallocated. This FSCTL sets the range of bytes to zeros (0) without extending the file size.

ReFS supports FSCTL_SET_ ZERO_DATA for conventional file streams, but not for integrity file streams, in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. ReFS supports FSCTL_SET_ ZERO_DATA for both conventional and integrity file streams in Windows 8.1 and later and Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system and later.

Upon receipt of this message, ReFS might deallocate disk space in the file if the file is stored on a ReFS volume and the file is sparse. It will free any allocated space in chunks of 64 kilobytes that begin at an offset that is a multiple of 64 kilobytes. Other bytes in the file (prior to the first freed 64-kilobyte chunk and after the last freed 64-kilobyte chunk) will be zeroed but not deallocated. This FSCTL sets the range of bytes to zeros (0) without extending the file size.

<84> Section 2.3.87: This message is implemented only by NTFS, which is supported on Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

<85> Section 2.3.89: Both the source and destination file names represent paths on the same volume, and the file names are the full paths to the files, including the share or drive letter at which each file is located.

<86> Section 2.3.91: All Windows Server versions return STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

<87> Section 2.4: The FileHardLinkInformation, FileIdGlobalTxDirectoryInformation, FileMailslotQueryInformation, FileMailslotSetInformation, FileNameInformation, FileObjectIdInformation, FileReparsePointInformation, FileSfioReserveInformation, FileStandardLinkInformation, and FileTrackingInformation file information classes are intended for local use only; the server will fail them with STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.

<88> Section 2.4: Windows uses the NtQueryInformationFile function to process the specified query for file information and NtSetInformationFile to process the specified request to set file information. The definition of the function used to process any file information request, including its content and the function signature, is implementation-dependent and is not part of the protocol specification.

<89> Section 2.4: FileId64ExtdBothDirectoryInformation information class is supported in the NTFS and ReFS file systems in Windows 11, version 23H2 operating system and later and Windows Server 2022, 23H2 operating system and later.

<90> Section 2.4: FileId64ExtdDirectoryInformation information class is supported in the NTFS and ReFS file systems in Windows 11, version 23H2 and later and Windows Server 2022, 23H2 and later.

<91> Section 2.4: FileIdAllExtdBothDirectoryInformation information class is supported in the NTFS and ReFS file systems in Windows 11, version 23H2 and later and Windows Server 2022, 23H2 and later.

<92> Section 2.4: FileIdAllExtdDirectoryInformation information class is supported in the NTFS and ReFS file systems in Windows 11, version 23H2 and later and Windows Server 2022, 23H2 and later.

<93> Section 2.4: The FileIdInformation information class is supported in the NTFS and ReFS file systems in Windows 8 and later and Windows Server 2012 and later.

<94> Section 2.4: This information class is not sent across the wire. In Windows, it is handled by the IOManager on the client. If this operation is sent to an SMB server, both SMB and SMB2 send the request to the IOManager on the server and perform normal processing of the operation.

<95> Section 2.4: Windows file systems do not implement this file information class; the server will fail it with STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.

<96> Section 2.4: Windows 10 v1803 and later and Windows Server v1803 and later allow remote FileNormalizedNameInformation query; other servers return STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.

<97> Section 2.4: The CIFS, SMB, and SMB2 protocols do not directly call this information class but use the structures associated with it.

<98> Section 2.4: Windows file systems do not implement this file information class; the server will fail it with STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.

<99> Section 2.4.4: A file's allocation size and end-of-file position are independent of each other with the following exception: The end-of-file position is always less than or equal to the allocation size. If the allocation size is set to a value that is less than the end-of-file position, the end-of-file position is automatically adjusted to match the allocation size. Because the end-of-file position can be less than the file's allocation size, the last sector (or cluster) of a file can have unused bytes between the last byte of the file and the last byte of the sector (or cluster).

<100> Section 2.4.4: NTFS rounds allocation size for resident files to a multiple of 8 bytes. When shrinking a resident file's allocation size using the FileAllocationInformation info class, the file remains resident with an allocation size rounded up to a multiple of 8 bytes. When extending a resident file's allocation size using the FileAllocationInformation info class, the file is converted to nonresident with an allocation size rounded up to a multiple of the cluster size.

<101> Section 2.4.5: NTFS assigns an alternate name to a file whose full name is not compliant with restrictions for file names under MS-DOS and 16-bit Windows unless the system has been configured through a registry entry to not generate these names to improve performance.

<102> Section 2.4.7: The file system updates the values of the LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime, and ChangeTime members as appropriate after an I/O operation is performed on a file. However, a driver or application can request that the file system not update one or more of these members for I/O operations that are performed on the caller's file handle by setting the appropriate members to -1. A driver or application can subsequently request that the file system resume updating one or more of these members for I/O operations that are performed on the caller's file handle by setting the appropriate members to -2. The caller can set one, all, or any other combination of these three members to -1 and/or -2. Only the members that are set to -1 will be unaffected by I/O operations on the file handle; the other members will be updated as appropriate. This behavior is consistent across all file system types. Note that even though -1 and -2 can be used with the CreationTime field, they have no effect because file creation time is never updated in response to file system calls such as read and write.

However, a driver or application can request that the file system not update one or more of these members for I/O operations that are performed on the caller's file handle by setting the appropriate members to -1. A driver or application can subsequently request that the file system resume updating one or more of these members for I/O operations that are performed on the caller's file handle by setting the appropriate members to -2.

<106> Section 2.4.8: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<107> Section 2.4.9: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 implement only one compression algorithm, LZNT1. For more information, see [UASDC].

<108> Section 2.4.9: NTFS uses a value of 16 calculated as (4 + ClusterShift) for the CompressionUnitShift by default. The ultimate size of data to be compressed depends on the cluster size set for the file system at initialization. NTFS defaults to a 4-kilobyte cluster size, resulting in a ClusterShift value of 12, but NTFS file systems can be initialized with a different cluster size, so the value can vary. The default compression unit size based on this calculation is 64 kilobytes.

<109> Section 2.4.9: NTFS uses a value of 12 for the ChunkShift so that compression chunks are 4 kilobytes in size.

<110> Section 2.4.9: The value of this field depends on the cluster size set for the file system at initialization. NTFS uses a value of 12 by default because the default NTFS cluster size is 4 kilobytes. If an NTFS file system is initialized with a different cluster size, the value of ClusterShift would be log 2 of the cluster size for that file system.

<111> Section 2.4.10: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<112> Section 2.4.11: A file marked for deletion is not actually deleted until all open handles for the file object have been closed, and the link count for the file is zero.

<113> Section 2.4.14: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<114> Section 2.4.16: In Windows, both the NTFS and UDFS file systems support hard links. UDFS support of hard links was added in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

<115> Section 2.4.17: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<116> Section 2.4.17: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<117> Section 2.4.18: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<118> Section 2.4.18: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<119> Section 2.4.19: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<120> Section 2.4.19: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<121> Section 2.4.20: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<122> Section 2.4.20: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<123> Section 2.4.21: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<124> Section 2.4.21: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<125> Section 2.4.22: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<126> Section 2.4.23: Windows-based SMB Version 1 servers set the NextEntryOffset field to the size of the current FileIdFullDirectoryInformation entry in bytes, if no other entries follow this one.

<127> Section 2.4.23: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<128> Section 2.4.23: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<129> Section 2.4.24: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<130> Section 2.4.24: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<131> Section 2.4.26: The NTFS, ReFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems return a FileId value of 0 for the entry named ".." in directory query operations.

<132> Section 2.4.27: In Windows, both the NTFS and UDFS file systems support hard links. UDFS support of hard links was added in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

<133> Section 2.4.30: The FileModeInformation information class is not sent across the wire. In Windows, it is handled by the IOManager on the client. If this operation is sent to an SMB server, both SMB and SMB2 send the request to the IOManager on the server and perform normal processing of the operation.

<134> Section 2.4.30: This flag is cleared by the respective server application while processing the set operation in the following situations:

SMB server on all supported versions of Windows if the file is not opened with a DesiredAccess field value that has the FILE_WRITE_DATA or FILE_APPEND_DATA bit set (see [MS-CIFS] section 2.2.4.64.1).
SMB2 server on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 always.
SMB2 server on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 if the file is opened with a CreateOptions field value that has the FILE_NO_INTERMEDIATE_BUFFERING bit set (see [MS-SMB2] section 2.2.13).

<135> Section 2.4.32: When using ReFS or NTFS, the position of a file within the parent directory is not fixed and can be changed at any time. Windows sets this value to zero for files on ReFS and NTFS file systems.

<136> Section 2.4.33: This operation works on both remote and local handles.

<137> Section 2.4.34: This information class is implemented on ReFS and NTFS file systems. Other file systems return STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST.

<138> Section 2.4.35: The Microsoft ReFS, FAT, EXFAT, UDFS, and CDFS file systems do not support the use of ObjectIds and return a status code of STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST.

<139> Section 2.4.35: The Microsoft Distributed Link Tracking protocols (see [MS-DLTW] section 3.1.6) use the first type of object ID structure for link tracking.

<140> Section 2.4.35.1: When a file is moved or copied from one volume to another, the ObjectId member's value changes to a random unique value to avoid the potential for ObjectId collisions because the object ID is not guaranteed to be unique across volumes.

<141> Section 2.4.39: Both the query and set FilePositionInformation operations are processed on the local client; therefore, these operations are not transmitted across the wire. The fact that these operations are processed on the client instead of the server is intended to be transparent to the client's usage of these operations.

If a server receives a request to set FilePositionInformation, the specified file position will be set on the remote handle, but its value will be ignored by future read/write operations. If a server receives a request to query FilePositionInformation, an undetermined value will be returned. For more information on how the CurrentByteOffset field is updated, see the [MS-FSA] sections for read and write operations.

<142> Section 2.4.39: Each read and write operation via the Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol [MS-SMB] and Server Message Block (SMB) Version 2 [MS-SMB2] protocols always provides an explicit starting offset, and thus is unaffected by the file position. Windows does not update the file position when read and write operations are performed via these protocols.

<143> Section 2.4.40: Query and set operations are supported only by the NTFS file system and are valid only on handles opened to the NTFS metadata file "\$Extend\$Quota:$Q:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".

<144> Section 2.4.44: In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the existing short name is deleted if the FileNameLength field in FILE_NAME_INFORMATION is zero. Previous Windows implementations return STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER when the FileNameLength field is zero.

<145> Section 2.4.46: This information class is supported on Windows 7 and later and Windows Server 2008 R2 and later.

<146> Section 2.4.48: Windows supports the FileValidDataLengthInformation (section 2.4.48) information class in the ReFS, NTFS, FAT, FAT32, and EXFAT file systems.

<147> Section 2.5: Windows uses the NtQueryVolumeInformationFile function to process the specified query for file system information and the NtSetVolumeInformationFile function to set the specified file system information. The definition of the function used to process any file system information request, including its content and the function signature, is implementation-dependent and is not part of the protocol specification.

<148> Section 2.5: This file system information class is intended for local use only; the server will fail it with status STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.

<149> Section 2.5: This file system information class is intended for local use only; the server will fail it with status STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED. Furthermore, this file information class is not implemented by any Windows file systems.

<150> Section 2.5: This file system information class is intended for local use only; the server will fail a "query" with STATUS_ACCESS_NOT_SUPPORTED, and the server will fail a "set" with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. Furthermore, this file information class is not implemented by any Windows file systems.

<151> Section 2.5.1: The FILE_SUPPORTS_USN_JOURNAL, FILE_SUPPORTS_OPEN_BY_FILE_ID, FILE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES, and FILE_SUPPORTS_HARD_LINKS attributes are only available on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

The FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME attribute is only available on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

The FILE_SUPPORT_INTEGRITY_STREAMS attribute is available only on ReFS/Windows 8.

<152> Section 2.5.1: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 set this flag if the volume is formatted for NTFS 3.0 or higher.

<153> Section 2.5.1: Windows support for a volume formatted to NTFS version 3.0 or 3.1 is required for EFS use. NTFS versions 3.0 and 3.1 are supported on Windows 2000 and later. Support for FAT and EXFAT was added in Windows 10 v1607 operating system and Windows Server 2016 and later.

<154> Section 2.5.1: Remote storage is provided by the Remote Storage service to create virtual disk storage from a tape or other storage media.

<155> Section 2.5.1: For the Microsoft ReFS, NTFS, FAT, and EXFAT file systems, this value is 510. For the Microsoft UDFS file system, this value is 508. For the Microsoft CDFS file system, this value is 220 for Joliet format and 442 otherwise.

<156> Section 2.5.1: Valid values for this field depend on the version of Windows that the server is running.

Windows version	FAT	FAT16	FAT32	exFAT	NTFS	CDFS	UDF	CSVFS
Windows 8 and later and Windows Server 2012 operating system and later	X	X	X	X	X	X	X	X
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2	X	X	X	X	X	X	X
Windows Vista operating system with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2	X	X	X	X	X	X	X
Windows Vista RTM	X	X	X		X	X	X
Windows XP	X	X	X		X	X

<157> Section 2.5.2: Query and set operations are supported only by the NTFS file system, and the quota index information is saved in the NTFS metadata file "\$Extend\$Quota:$Q:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".

<158> Section 2.5.2: Logging makes an entry in the Windows application event log.

<159> Section 2.5.4: In Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, if per-user quotas are in use, this value can be less than the total number of allocation units on the disk. Non-Microsoft quota management software might display the same behavior as these versions of Windows if that software was implemented as a file system filter driver, and the driver implementer opted to set the FileFsFullSizeInformation in the same manner as Windows 2000.

<160> Section 2.5.4: In Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, if per-user quotas are in use, this value can be less than the total number of free allocation units on the disk.

<161> Section 2.5.5: A maximum length of 32 characters is imposed for any Windows file system, though some file systems can impose a stricter limit. The Microsoft FAT file system supports volume labels that are 0 to 11 characters in length. ReFS and NTFS support volume labels that are 0 to 32 characters in length. All Unicode characters are permitted in a volume label with the exception of the NULL character, which is reserved for use as a string terminator.

<162> Section 2.5.6: The Microsoft ReFS, FAT, EXFAT, UDFS, and CDFS file systems do not support the use of object IDs and return a status code of STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER.

<163> Section 2.5.6: Windows does not write information into the ExtendedInfo field for file systems.

<164> Section 2.5.7: This information class is only available in the following:

Windows 8 and later
Microsoft-implemented file systems including NTFS, ReFS, FAT, ExFAT, UDFS, and CDFS

<165> Section 2.5.7: This is also the reported physical sector size of the device for atomicity. Note that NTFS does basic sanitation to ensure this value does not cause unexpected application behavior. NTFS performs the following basic sanitization:

Ensures that the reported physical sector size is greater than or equal to the logical sector size. If it is not, the value of this field is set to the logical sector size.
Ensures that the reported physical sector size is a power of two. If it is not, the value of this field is set to the logical sector size.

<166> Section 2.5.7: This is the reported physical sector size of the device for performance. Note that NTFS does basic sanitation to ensure that this value does not cause unexpected application behavior. NTFS performs the following basic sanitization:

Ensures that the reported physical sector size is greater than or equal to the logical sector size. If it is not, the value of this field is set to the logical sector size.
Ensures that the reported physical sector size is a power of two. If it is not, the value of this field is set to the logical sector size.

<167> Section 2.5.7: A client can interpret this field as the unit for which NTFS guarantees an atomic operation. NTFS calculates the value of this field as follows:

Retrieve the physical sector size the device reports for atomicity, and store in x.
Validate that the value x is greater than or equal to the logical sector size. If it is not, set x to the logical sector size.
Validate that the value x is a power of two. If it is not, set x to the logical sector size.
Validate that the value x is less than or equal to the system page size defined in [MS-FSA] section 2.1.1.1. If it is not, set x to the system page size defined in [MS-FSA] section 2.1.1.1.

<168> Section 2.5.7: In this example, a storage device has a logical sector of 512 bytes, a physical sector of 4 KB (with eight logical sectors in a physical sector), and an offset of three logical sectors. The ByteOffsetForSectorAlignment field is therefore calculated as 3 * LogicalBytesPerSector = 1536 bytes.

LBA	#	#	#	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	20
Physical Sector	0								1								2

<169> Section 2.5.8: In Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, if per-user quotas are in use, this value can be less than the total number of allocation units on the disk. Non-Microsoft quota management software might display the same behavior as Windows 2000 if that software was implemented as a file system filter driver, and the driver implementer opted to set the FileFsSizeInformation in the same manner as Windows 2000.

<170> Section 2.5.8: In Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, if per-user quotas are in use, this value can be less than the total number of free allocation units on the disk.

<171> Section 2.5.9: A maximum length of 32 characters is imposed for any Windows file system, though some file systems can impose a stricter limit. The Microsoft FAT file system supports volume labels that are 0 to 11 characters in length. NTFS supports volume labels that are 0 to 32 characters in length. All Unicode characters are permitted in a volume label with the exception of the NULL character, which is reserved for use as a string terminator.

<172> Section 2.5.9: This value is TRUE for NTFS and FALSE for other file systems implemented by Windows.

<173> Section 2.5.10: A driver can skip the full check for appcontainers by setting this characteristic on its device object.

<174> Section 2.6: The Windows file system does not persist the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL flag. When getting attributes via the FileAttributeTagInformation (section 2.4.6) information class, a client will receive the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL flag only if no other attributes were set. Some examples: If a client sets the attributes as [FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN | FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL], the client will see just [FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN] when it gets the attributes. If the client sets the attributes as [FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL], the client will see [FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL] when it gets the attributes.

<175> Section 2.6: Only ReFS supports this attribute.

<176> Section 2.6: Only NTFS and ReFS support this attribute.

<177> Section 2.6: Only NTFS and ReFS support this attribute.

<178> Section 2.6: Only NTFS and ReFS support this attribute.

<179> Section 2.6: Only NTFS and ReFS support this attribute.

<180> Section 2.6: Only NTFS and ReFS support this attribute.

<181> Section 2.7.1: For FILE_ACTION_REMOVED_BY_DELETE, FILE_ACTION_ID_NOT_TUNNELLED, and FILE_ACTION_TUNNELLED_ID_COLLISION only NTFS supports the special directory "\$Extend\$ObjId:$O:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".
