Hi,

according to BOL (ReFS for Windows 2012 and Windows 2016), ReFS is supported for Disklibraries up to Windows Version 2019.
Is there a reason to not extent the support to the recent versions of Windows OS ? (2022, 2025)

Is it required to copy-out, reformat using NTFS, copy-back all disklib paths/volumes, if the server is upgraded from Windows 2019 to a more recent version of Windows ?
This can become challenging if the disklib has not eough freespace available to temporary evacuate one ot its paths.

Hi ​@johanningk 

 

ReFS is supported for disk libraries on Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025, just as it is on Windows Server 2016 and 2019. We will be updating the documentation to reflect this.
