Bootable Windows on ReFS still not ready for prime time due to lack of wider compatibility

Seems ReFS improves performance for VHDs. Time to format the NVMe drives .
That's one thing I didn't test
As got fed up shuffling all the data around
In order to have some free drives I could format
So could test it

The only showing as raw on drives
That didn't create them also stopped me
Doing any further experiments with VHD too
As being readable on my other windows installs
Is critical to me

Be interesting to see how you get on
With VHD instead though
 
I was able to do a quick format from NTFS to ReFS, didn't need to delete the partion and recreate.

No noticable difference in benchmarks. Won't notice when booting VMs either, simple Windows clients used for app and policy testing, all bootup in seconds.

NTFS above, ReFS below. Both 1TB 990 Pro in an Asus Hyper M.2 Gen 4 card.
