"The file system detects corruption at an early stage and handles problems online, without the need for chkdsk. This focus on data integrity makes ReFS particularly suitable for critical environments. In addition, the integrity-first design reduces the risk of corruption due to crashes. While NTFS systems already support large volumes, ReFS goes one step further with support for volumes up to 35 petabytes."
"Organizations can now install and boot the server operating system from a ReFS volume, something that has been possible with NTFS for decades. As Windows Server 2016 approaches the end of support, the change may be of interest to upgraders who want to build a more secure server environment."
"ReFS uses block cloning and sparse provisioning. These technologies enable enterprises to easily create and expand large fixed-size VHD(X) files. They also significantly speed up the copying of large files."
Microsoft has introduced boot support for the Resilient File System (ReFS) in Windows Server Insider Preview, marking the first time since ReFS launched in 2012 that organizations can boot directly from a ReFS volume. ReFS provides significant advantages over NTFS, including early corruption detection with online handling without requiring chkdsk, an integrity-first design that reduces crash-related corruption risks, and support for volumes up to 35 petabytes. The file system also features block cloning and sparse provisioning technologies that enable enterprises to efficiently create and expand large fixed-size VHD(X) files while accelerating large file copying. This development offers upgrading organizations a secure alternative to NTFS as Windows Server 2016 approaches end of support.
