It found all the files we were expecting to find on the volume, and displayed them in the tree. ReclaiMe is a commercial tool that allows you to do data recovery from a number of volumes. We really wanted to get the data that was on this disk to avoid having to roll back to an earlier backup.Īfter much anxiety (and googling) we decided to try a few strategies to get the data back. Entirely helpful messages from the Event Log

Windows provides “really helpful” error messages: Attempting to open the volume in Explorer provides this immensely helpful error message. Doing some investigation, it looked like all the data was there, but just the metadata was obstructed in some way. Instead we got hit with a classic ReFS RAW Volume essentially a disk that Windows could see, but was unable to mount. The error generated was a useless generic “An Unexpected Error Occurred.” We opened a support case with Microsoft, and after some basic testing came to the conclusion that the error might have been caused be a specific registry setting, and so brought our storage online.Įxcept that it didn’t come online. Essentially, we’d been experiencing some issues with a Windows 2019 Hyper V Cluster resulting in storage becoming unavailable.
I’m no technical expert on ReFS, but we’ve recently run into an issue with an ReFS Cluster Shared Volume in Windows 2019 that was nice and yucky. It scales beautifully, and has no fixed capacity limitations that matter in this day and age. It offers many awesome new features, particularly if you are using Storage Spaces and lots of disks. ReFS is Microsoft’s new file system that will one day replace NTFS.
