Disable the Integrity Bit of VHDs Copied to an ReFS Volume. By Aidan Finn - August 21, 2013 Resilient File System (ReFS) is the new file system that was introduced in Windows Server 2012 (WS2012). It offers the promise of a CHKDSK-free life. ReFS accomplishes this and prevents bit rot using built-in mechanisms, with the idea that time-consuming offline maintenance should become a thing of the past.

WS2012 Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs) do not support ReFS; therefore the new files system was of no use to highly available Hyper-V hosts or Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) SMB 3.0 storage. That changes in Windows Server 2012 R2 (WS2012 R2); CSV does support ReFS, and therefore you can use the new file system in Hyper-V clusters’ CSVs and SOFS clusters. Today I'm going to cover how to disable the integrity bit of virtual hard disks copied to an ReFS volume using PowerShell cmdlets.
