Win8 ReFS access

Post by T3kk »

I have a couple of ReFS file system drives which can not be mounted under Linux. However they can be accessed from Win8.
So I created a Win8 Host - but can not attached the drives to the VM because they won't mount on Linux.
Any ideas how to attach the drives without them having to be mounted first?

Cheers

You say you have a windows8 host but post in Linux host.
I assume you mean you have a Win8 GUEST? If so, you will have to use raw device mapping for this.
See Advanced Topics : Raw Disk in the user manual. Note that this is not supported here as it is a experimented user feature and can cause data loss!
