Is there a Windows API for determining if a certain file (path) is on an NTFS filesystem?
If this can be somehow inferred from an existing Python API, all the better.

Dont know how to do it in Python, but I assume that invoking C functions will be easy.
So in C open file handle bu CreateFile, you’ll retrieve a handle to such file. Then call GetVolumeInformationByHandleW and check the lpFileSystemNameBuffer variable for “ntfs” string.
