ReFS support?

Hi there,

The question is simple, does drivepool support the new Server 2012 filesystem ReFS?

    Ok, just installed drivepool in a VM.
    Apparently ReFS disks are not listed in the tool, so not supported...?
    Can someone confirm that and indicate if some support is planned in the future?

    If you look at the features for DrivePool, it is stated that the volume has to be NTFS.

    Any simple* NTFS formatted disk can be added to the pool instantly, without erasing or altering the existing data on it.

    I don't know anything about future ReFS support.

    First I'd just like to say that I don't know anything :)

    But I'm guessing ReFS will not be supported any time soon since it doesn't support Alternate data streams which DrivePool uses currently to store metadata such as duplication counts.

    So a new "technique" for storing that info would probably need to be implemented first.
