Obviously, maintaining the availability of Server-based data is one of the primary objectives of any Server Administrator. With the “Data Verification and Auto Correction” process provided by ReFS we’re able to support that availability goal. While the self-healing aspects of such a file system existed in the Server 2008 versions of the operating system, ReFS takes that support capability to a level of higher resiliency. As described above, ReFS can auto-detect data corruption and then “self-heal.” This means that the file system can perform any corrections and repairs necessary without needing to take the file system offline.
