Hi everyone,
Do you know of any recoverytool that supports storage spaces direct and a pool with ReFS from windows server 2016? I have big trouble with my cluster
Regards,

storage spaces, and the new storage spaces direct, add another layer of indirection between the volume and the actual disks
in fact could say 2 or 3 extra layers depending if tiering and caching is involved
(pool layer, tiering layer, virtual disk layer)
Which means more to potential go wrong or get confused in the (rare) case that something happens
First check that the underlying physical drives seem healthy and aren't reporting any errors
Regarding ReFS - R-Studio v8 can scan ReFS volumes
