Having been disappointed by Microsoft software especially its operating systems in the last years and being an OS developer myself it is still with pleasure to see MS' vision for 2019. Finally some nice ideas coming out of all the R&D money..

Tutorial: Building a minimal Linux root filesystem (Step 0)
The first thing when creating a root filesystem is to create a filesystem for it. There are other means to reach the result, but here is a simple one which should work on all *nix systems.
1) Create the container for the filesystem using dd
2) overall a basic filesystem, for example ext2
and ready!
Please note that the number of Inodes must be greater than the number of files to be created on the root filesystem. If you ever experience a "No space left on device" even though you df shows you otherwise, this might be the problem.
