They don't list any supported network filesystems. Those various combinations of Windows they list speak different versions of SMB to each other. Some aren't even supported by Microsoft any more. And they don't actually say what they mean by "support". They also don't appear to provide any tool that lets you do the certification yourself. You should understand where we come from in the SQLite world. Data integrity matters. This is how things are tested: https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html - From that vantage point, other vendors can look sloppy :-) How about a tale from the past. I used to work on WAN optimizers. They intercept network traffic, compress it to reduce bandwidth, and cache plus write behind to reduce latency. One of our competitors had a shoddy implementation, that for example would paper over errors, incorrectly cache (or not flush cached) information and various other things. These conditions weren't hit too often, while the bandwidth and latency improvements were very noticeable. On talking to sites that had the competitor devices, we'd find they did notice increases in programs crashing and data file issues, but had written it off as the kind of thing that happens with Windows. ie expectations on data integrity for Windows is already pretty low, even though it wasn't at all at fault.
