Does anyone here use ReFS for the PVS store? I usually format the disk with NTFS and 64 KB allocation size.
j
Always, especially if you are versioning. Merges take just seconds.
b
I am. No constant reverse imaging, that's frustrating and takes ages.
@Jeff Riechers I guess you use 64k too?
j
I don't adjust that, just refs is fine in my testing.

We moved to ReFS for PVS store a few years ago at the last place I worked. It was wonderful for improving merge times.
d
Yes, always ReFS. The merge process is so much faster.
b
When formatting, are you using default, 4096 or 64k?
s
We moved to ReFS, had faster mergin times, but issues with the disk showing wrong free spaces sizes and so we moved back to NTFS

Cool - thank you for your feedback. Setup with REFS, formatted with the defaults is running smootly.
