NTFS by convention uses names starting with '$' for internal metadata files and streams on those internal metadata files. There is no mechanism to stop applications from using names of this form; therefore, it is recommended that names of this form not be used internally by an object store for a server environment except when emulating NTFS metadata streams such as "\$Extend\$Quota:$Q:$INDEX_ALLOCATION" or "\$Extend\$Reparse:$R:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".
Stream Names currently used by NTFS are as follows:
|
NTFS Internal Stream Names |
Example |
|---|---|
|
$I30 |
Default name for directory streams C:\Users:$I30:$INDEX_ALLOCATION |
|
$O |
\$Extend\$ObjId:$O:$INDEX_ALLOCATION |
|
$Q |
\$Extend\$Quota:$Q:$INDEX_ALLOCATION |
|
$R |
\$Extend\$Reparse:$R:$INDEX_ALLOCATION |
|
$J |
\$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J:$DATA |
|
$MAX |
\$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$MAX:$DATA |
|
$SDH |
\$Secure:$SDH:$INDEX_ALLOCATION |
|
$SII |
\$Secure:$SII:$INDEX_ALLOCATION |
