I think there are already enough file systems around. And as one looks
some of them provide also very advanced features. I have an eye on an
JFS implementation for NT - it's just the usual that I dont find either
time or a starting point.
The security in NT comes from the object manager and the processes'
security tokens which are created by the security authority (which is
replacible, see Novel). Thus any FS which allws additional meta info is
suitable for us.
It's a bad idea to reinvent an own NTFS (and even name it so). Confusion
would be great.

Perhaps instead of waiting for someone to make complete NTFS support
in ReactOS (not that it shouldn't be done), we may make a filesystem
of our own that is designed with NTFS features in mind
(http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ntfs/), but since we make it we have
complete support for it. I was thinking of the name MUSCLE, a pun of
FAT. I'm not exactly sure if the letter mean anything yet, but they
could be in the future ;)
