ReFS:A
New Type Of File System Better Than NTFS.Now a days NTFS is well know
file system , but Windows 8 is coming with a new type of file system
ReFS ,which stands for Resilient File System .In Windows 8, ReFS
will be introduced only as part of Windows Server 8, which is the same
approach we have used for each and every file system introduction.
Key features of ReFS:
Key features of ReFS:
- Metadata integrity with checksums
- Integrity streams providing optional user data integrity
- Allocate on write transactional model for robust disk updates (also known as copy on write)
- Large volume, file and directory sizes
- Storage pooling and virtualization makes file system creation and management easy
- Data striping for performance (bandwidth can be managed) and redundancy for fault tolerance
- Disk scrubbing for protection against latent disk errors
- Resiliency to corruptions with "salvage" for maximum volume availability in all cases
- Shared storage pools across machines for additional failure tolerance and load balancing
The table below shows the capacity limits of the on-disk format.
So we are hoping that this new type of file system from Microsoft will give a next step in file storage space.
