REFS VS NTFS FULL

Why can't you use NTFS for a 54TB volume? A full chkdsk will take forever, but in 2012 and newer chkdsk will run online and do spotfix repairs. Using Veeam which has built-in hash summing and deduplication is a great way to workaround ReFS limitations :)I am confused on a few points:Р”РЋ. A quick Google search didn't show anything.OK, let me share some of my links with you ) Using Veeam which has built-in hash summing and deduplication is a great way to workaround ReFS limitations :)This is running on Server 2012 R2, and I noticed your comment about the blank ReFS volume. A quick Google search didn't show anything.

Many NTFS disk tools donРІР‚в„ўt work with ReFS, either, because it handles the file metadata differently. The different underlying structure and lack of support for some of the features that weРІР‚в„ўve come to take for granted in NTFS present a РІР‚СљgotchaРІР‚Сњ for anyone who would aspire to use ReFS as the main file system, because some applications that rely on specific NTFS features might not work with ReFS. ItРІР‚в„ўs obvious that ReFS in its current iteration is not a replacement for NTFS, but rather is intended for use in specific circumstances, particularly for storage of very large data sets. Note that ReFS does support sparse files, reparse points, case-sensitive file names and Unicode in file names and perhaps most important, it preserves and enforces access control lists (ACLs).

REFS VS NTFS WINDOWS

You canРІР‚в„ўt (at least at this time) boot Windows from an ReFS volume and the first versions of ReFS donРІР‚в„ўt include file-level compression and encryption, disk quotas or hard links, all of which are advantages of NTFS over the FAT file systems. While ReFS has some great new features that NTFS doesnРІР‚в„ўt, itРІР‚в„ўs also lacking some of NTFSРІР‚в„ўs capabilities. I remember looking at ReFS and thinking, 'Nah.' This article lists some of the reasons why.

See (MSFT published my article on MSDN blogs, yahooo!!!): If done I/O pattern (and resulting performance) changes dramatically and application might not like it. Just make sure:Р”РЋ) You don't have data hashsummig enabled. Making long story short: using ReFS (and keeping fingers crossed, there are no horror stories about 'blank ReFS volume after reboot' for WS2016 but there are plenty of them for WS2012R2, just Google them) is the only way to go. For 54TB single namespace there's simply no way to use NTFS for anything: scrubbing process and volume unavailability may take DAYS.
