The whole of the NT kernel was essentially a futurized implementation of VAX-VMS.
Both VMS and NT had the same manager, in the person of Dave Cutler. Microsoft hired a large team away from DEC to build NT (which became the subject of litigation from DEC).
I have read that NTFS shares common architecture with Files-11/ODS-2&5 (native VMS filesystems). Aspects were also lifted from OS/2.
ZFS was developed a decade after NTFS. Most UNIX was still on FFS when NTFS was born.
