In NTFS, what is the difference between the FRN and the FileID64?

102 Views Asked by At

NTFS seems to have two internal identifiers for file system entries: the FRN (File Reference Number), and the FileID64.

From all the research I've been doing (aside from peering into actual code), they appear to serve the same function of identifying a file across the file system (i.e. the equivalent of inodes on Linux file systems).

What are the differences between them? And which one is more equivalent to inodes?
