    Windows 10 Refs and Storage spaces raw


    Hey,

    Summary:


    Had a crashed WS2019, reinstalled the OS with Win10H02. The SS drive is visible and shows "ok", however the drive is shown as "RAW" and can't be accessed. I upgraded the pool, still same. I enabled the REFS feature through the registry keys. Still nothing. Any ideas?


    Regards,

    Toni

    ReFS is not listed as a format option when creating a mirrored storage space

    I have two Windows 10 computers. Both are upgraded from Windows 7. When I create a storage space on one of these computers, I can format a two-way mirrored storage space as ReFS, but the other computer only lists NTFS for the same two drives.

    If I create a mirrored ReFS space on the first computer and then plug in the drives into the second computer, Windows pops up an error message saying "This version of Windows doesn't support the ReFS format on drive".

    How can I enable ReFS on the second computer?

    ReFS Option Missing in Storage Spaces win 10 version 1709

    Hi Lov,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I read this information ( at Resilient File System (ReFS) overview), dated 18 Dec 2017, that indicated that the integration of ReFS in WIN 10 Pro Storage Spaces would remain; but I see now that this only applies to Windows
    Server editions.

    I will certainly provide my feedback as you suggest. It seems my options are to stick with NTFS in WIN 10 Pro, or spend $215 AUD to upgrade to WIN 10 Pro for Workstations; it seems hardly worth it just to get ReFS.

    Thanks again.

    Will ReFS / Storage Spaces configuration works correctly with Windows 10?

    Old title: Windows 10 and ReFS

    I've been unable to find a clear-cut answer to my question. I'm running Win 8.1 Pro and I use 2 secondary HDs for my 'data'. These drives are formatted ReFS and configured in a Storage Spaces mirrored configuration. I think I'm ready to upgrade my Win
    8.1 Pro to Win 10 but I'm looking for reassurance that the ReFS / Storage Spaces configuration is going to still work just fine. Will this be the case?

    (My primary drive is SSD NTFS)
