Anniversary Update uses them for similar purposes, storing the Linux file mode, owner, device ID (if applicable), and file times in the extended attributes. Additionally, NTFS can store arbitrary-length extended attributes in the form of alternate data streams (ADS), a type of resource fork. Plugins for the file manager Total Commander, like NTFS Descriptions and QuickSearch eXtended support filtering the file list by or searching for metadata contained in ADS. NTFS-3G supports mapping ADS to extended attributes in FUSE; it also maps file attributes that way. See also Attribute–value pair File attribute References Computer file systems Metadata
