Ah, so they're covering their backs. Their "typical" behaviour
is of no practical use in a scenario where the total amount of
data written is larger than the capacity of the storage medium,
and if anyone complains about that they can just say "well,
we didn't force you to use that technique".
OK, I admit it, MS have made their file system design worse
over time in this regard. However, they're at least not hiding
the fact.
However, as you say, they certainly aren't mandating the
behaviour claimed by HPD.
Didn't IBM teach them about proper file systems over a decade
ago?
