A Windows Server 2022 administrator has provisioned a 45 TB mirrored Storage Spaces virtual disk that will store critical VHDX files. The security policy states that the file system must automatically detect and correct silent data corruption while the volume remains online. You are about to format the new drive (R:).
Which command will prepare the volume to meet this requirement?
ReFS is the only Windows-native file system that uses checksums for all metadata and, when integrity streams are enabled, for file data as well. When a ReFS volume resides on redundant storage such as a mirrored or parity Storage Space, the file system can use the alternate copy to repair corrupt blocks online. The Format command option /FS:ReFS selects the ReFS file system, and /I:enable turns on integrity streams at volume creation, fulfilling the organization's requirement for online detection and self-healing of bit-rot.
Formatting with /I:disable leaves data checksums turned off, so corruption would go undetected. NTFS lacks a mechanism for per-block checksums on user data, and exFAT has no integrity features at all, so neither of those alternatives satisfies the requirement.
