Show HN: A Clean Room RFC for NTFS Structural Repair

Category: other

Tags: ntfs, filesystem-repair, clean-room

Score: 7.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

This project provides a legally defensible, clean-room algorithmic specification for building an open-source NTFS structural repair engine, addressing the gap where Linux lacks deep NTFS repair capabilities comparable to Windows chkdsk. It innovatively combines a 16-phase repair pipeline with behavioral observation methodology, offering detailed pseudo-code and legal safeguards. The documentation is exceptionally thorough, with complete API contracts, diagrams, and legal declarations.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, devops
