    To everybody:

    There is an update of ReFS package, it supports x32 platform now too. Just download the file from the first post. :)

    I've played with registry settings (rewritten amd64 entries to x86, removed duplicities and sorted), so it will work nicely now.

    Credit goes to "stelistcristi" guy, who made the tip, so thank him (in the posts above). :)

    Where did you get the 32-bit .dlls for ReFS? I thought ReFS was only on 2012 server, and that is only 64bit? Is there anything new for 64-bit Windows 8 in the updated package, or is it the same there?

    I got the files from ISO of W8 RTM PRO x86. Actually, ReFS is enabled in Windows 8, but excluded during install. You can easily verify it in WinPE during an installation by launching cmd/diskpart/format (SHIFT+F10) when setup is started. I was thinking the necessary files are somewhere in ISO file, so I extracted .wim files (install.wim and boot.wim) and in boot.wim I found the necessary files. :D

    Installed it today and found this small typo, should be x86?

    Have to tell that I get an Error-Popup when starting Windows now, something with Com-Surrogate ...

    And to have it here, I will try to use:

    Code:
    format /fs:refs /q /i:enable <volume>
    enables checksumming of all data (default is to checksum just a small amount of metadata)

    srces here:

    Yeah COM Surrogate message appeared for around 4 Boots, but the last 3 boots it didn't pop up anymore, should be something different.

    Tomorrow I think I can do some performance tests.

    Thx for the package and improvements!

    Both Win8Mods.rar and ReFS.rar are updated again.
    Win8Mods.rar grows in size (it had 101MB, now is has 137MB). :)

    As it has been asked before are there any changes to the last couple 64 bit ReFS packages that would make a difference when enabling it?

    Last update just enable ReFS for all W8 versions b7850,7927,7955,7959,7989,8102,8250,8400,9200. If you are only interested in x64 RTM b9200 files, those are actually without change, I am trying now to add some new files for x64 RTM as well as registry entries to add ReFS support to \Administrative Tools\Computer Management\Storage...

    I did some testing, but I don't know how reliable those values are, as at the end of my tests Windows reportet some errors with this drive, so I have to order new one and replace it anyway and will redo my tests, but this can take a while.

    Here are my results with a potentially bad drive:

    ReFS /i: enable

    hmmm, interesting issue to analyze...

    Do you have any data there on that failed drive?
    BTW: When mirror is present, the data is simply recopied, when there is no mirror auto-correction will take place.
    BTW2: I've now over 12TB of data on ReFS without any problem...

    Run HxD or another HexEditor and try to open disk from there (read-only)...

    Yes it is a 3TB drive, GPT, ReFS with /i: enabled, filled with about 1,5TB Data, Acronis FileBackups, splittet in 2GB files.

    The next days I will try to open it in HxD next time, and I will try if I can create a Server 2012 VM and attach the raw disk to it and see what the server will do with it.

    Your 12TB Data are stored by using Windows 8 Pro x64?
