  The Four Stages of File Growth - Part 1
Time: 00:09 EST/05:09 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

In my quest to better understand the inter-working of how NTFS stores information on disk, I have been researching what happens to a file as it grows in size and complexity. The reason I’m after this knowledge is so I can better troubleshoot certain storage issues.

Recently, I realized that I’d stuffed my head with enough information to make a pretty good blog. Read along as I explain what I call ‘the four stages of file growth’.

Before we can address file growth, we need to first look at how NTFS works under the covers.

Let’s start out with some basics.
