Builds a fugitive on the Internet shows that Windows 8 will have a new file system called Protogon. It is a revelation of an article in ITWorld dedicated to hidden features in the operating system. This discovery raises a myriad of questions still unanswered. Protogon replace NTFS there or will there a filesystem that will be offered as an option? Is there a completely different file system or an update of NTFS? Rafael Rivera, Within Windows blog, whose comments are reported by ZDnet, says Protogon has elements from the world of databases, such as transactions, cursors, tables or rows.
He could also communicate with an NTFS partition. The tidibits reported by ITWorld also mention better support for TRIM, the faster recovery of a system in hibernation, a maintenance while the machine is on standby and a backup system like Time Machine and mounting ISO images. This is not the first time that Microsoft would try to replace NTFS.
Windows Vista WinFS was supposed to bring an alternate NTFS file system, but the project was abandoned before the sale of Longhorn, the codename of the operating system unloved (see "WinFS Microsoft defers"). Windows has kept the same file system from Windows XP, that is to say since 2001.
It is not unusual to see a file system last for years. HFS + still used on the Mac was introduced in 1998 with Mac OS 8.1 and ext2 waited 8 years before being replaced by ext3 in 2001 to make way for ext4 in 2008. It is quite possible that Microsoft wants to introduce a new file system with Windows 8, but there is no guarantee that it will be in the final version.
Mr. Rivera thought he could be an update to the Jet Blue storage engine integrated with Active Directory and Exchange Server. Mary Jo Foley of ZDnet by cons think it might finally be of WinFS. Microsoft did not mention Protogon during lectures and talks he gave today to unveil the Windows interface 8.
One imagines he could say more by cons at the Professional Developers Conference to be held in September. Integrating Protogon is anyway a precarious stage. Windows 8 reads and writes to volumes using this file system, but a chkdsk in Command Prompt does not recognize.
