In the Linux tree.
In Windows, Satya would need to write Larry a check. It would probably be hefty.
Edit: there was a time that this was planned for MacOS.

- gjvc 2y agoEdit: there was a time that this was planned for MacOS. That was a joyous prospect. A single volume manager/filesystem across all UNIX platforms would be wonderful. We had the UNIX wars of the 1990s. Since Linux won, they have been replaced by the filesystem wars.
- chasil 2y agoFor what it's worth, I upvoted you. I see no reason for the down votes.
- mort96 2y agoIt wouldn't have been a candidate for "the standard UNIX filesystem" even if it was in macOS because SUN made an intentionally GPL-incompatible license for it.
- gjvc 2y agoYou make a fair point, but it does not detract from the concept of having a single integrated volume manager and filesystem. Interoperability is most important.
