A comment on APFS does not normalize Unicode filenames.

I've been very excited about ReFS -- a real "modern" Filesystem that leaves legacy issues behind. We've been using it for large storage systems, and am hoping it will become a viable solution for everything soon. It solves most of these issues.

If Microsoft open source it with a free patent license it might be useful. Until that it is just another proprietary FS locked to a single OS.

Except cross-platform support, right?

A "modern" filesystem that lacks support for hard links? No thanks.
