Windows 10: Is there any way to read refs volume in windows pro?

Hello everyone,

I have used ReFs on my work pc because of it excellent reliability and then I used it on my external hard drives. After that i'm unable to read those on my home pc running Windows 10 pro. Is there any way to rend Refs volumes on windows 10 pro.

Thanks in advance.

Will Win 10 Pro ReFS Integrity Streams work after Creator's Update?

I understand that the Win 10 Pro Fall Creator's update removes the ability for Win 10 Pro to create new ReFS volumes but will still permit read/write to existing ReFS volumes. I have a 4 TB ReFS volume that has File Integrity Streams enabled. Will File Integrity
Steams continue to function normally on my existing ReFS volume after the Win 10 Pro Fall Creator's update or will I need to upgrade to Win 10 Pro for Workstation?

 

Defragmentation of ReFS volume

Hello there everyone,

I have created an ReFS volume on one of my 2.0TB hard drives, all is well, there is just a tiny bit of something that is getting me to worry.

One: when I try to copy some files onto the drive the speed, occasionally, not all the time, drops to 20-40MB/s, the ReFS partition is Bitlocker encrypted, and raw read speed from the partition is near 200 MB/s

Two: When I go to defragmentation applet of my windows 10 (x64 1909 18363.657), it takes ages to even analyze the ReFS volume, and at the end it reports that the partition does not need defragmentation. While my NTFS volumes, even in Bitlocker encrypted state take only a few seconds, 2 minutes at most, to analyze for defragmenation.

Should I worry?
What is wrong here?

Thank you all for all the help and work beforehand

 

ReFS support for Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators update and forward

I cannot find the definite answer if ReFS will be supported on the Fall Creators update and future versions of Windows 10 Pro. I've seen a few cached pages of the items that are schedule to be deprecated and/or remove in the Fall CU and ReFS support was
listed for Home/Pro but there is no mention of it on the current pages.

However, support has been removed from both File Explorer and FSUTIL since the Spring CU was release.

I believe it's been removed as there might still need to be features ported over from NTFS to support the newest One Drive; which is way ReFS support is not there for One Drive and I've heard there are memory leaks related to ReFS and Windows 10 Fall CU.

So, does anyone know if ReFS will come back to Windows 10 Pro?
