I think UDF was meant to be this, though I don't think it supports everything you'd want. Does NTFS have licensing issues though?

NTFS has serious performance issues, nobody should use it.

  • AFAIK that's an incorrect meme that just won't die. The performance issues you're thinking of have nothing to do with the filesystem itself, but with the I/O subsystem in Windows more generally. If you have evidence otherwise please share.

    • Microsoft itself admits there are performance issues with NTFS, which is one reason they created ReFS.

      For example ReFS removed the MFT which caused various problems.
