Is there something like USN Journal on Linux filesystem? [closed]

Question

I often use Everything (a search tool) on Windows. It uses USN Journal to speed file name search.

Do Linux filesystems (ext4, xfs, btrfs, etc.) have a similar function to USN Journal?

Answer 1

The USN journal lets a Windows program keep track of changes to files.

An program on Linux can do the same by using inotify. It allows a program to be notified about every change to the files.

It is not a function of any particular filesystem, but of the kernel's filesystem layer, so it works with any filesystem.
