Introducing New ReFS For Windows 8/ Server 2012

ReFS (Resilient File System) is a new file system in Windows after the normally known FAT (File Allocation Table) and NTFS (New Technology File System). ReFS comes with Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.

ReFS is specifically intended for managing extremely large data volumes. In extreme cases, if ReFS finds that it can't repair data corruption, it isolates the bad data away from the healthy portion of the volume to keep the volume online and available to users. Nice....




NTFS is still in use as well! ReFS is intended only for a special use case: large data volumes on file servers. NTFS is still the default file system choice in Windows Server 2012, and it is intended for all other general purpose file system needs. In fact, if you want ReFS, you'll have to specifically request it when formatting your volume, as shown below ...




Is ReFS compatible with NTFS?

Yes it is!  ReFS was designed for API-level compatibility with NTFS
It means that business applications that access files locally or via file shares can continue to do so unchanged, even if the files are sitting on a volume formatted with the ReFS file system. However, there are a few special file system features that are not supported with ReFS and are only available with NTFS.

Image
Hyatt Hotels Corporation is notifying its customers that credit card numbers and other sensitive information may have been stolen after it found malware on the computers that process customer payments. "We recently identified malware on computers that operate the payment processing systems for Hyatt-managed locations," the company announced on Wednesday. "As soon as we discovered the activity, we launched an investigation and engaged leading third-party cyber security experts." What type of information? The company didn't confirm whether the attackers succeeded in stealing payment card numbers, neither it say how long its network was infected or how many hotel chains were affected in the malware attack. But as the payment processing system was infected with credit-card-stealing malware, there is a possibility that hackers may have stolen credit card numbers and other sensitive information.
