Ha! I needed this mentioned.
A small update to what I encountered lately...
In short: I moved back to NTFS.
*** if it is not supported by the official UI, don't force it in via other means ***
Quick recap, my ReFS was a migrated / moved v1.2 version from old Win8.1 Pro. It was working, though...
I read the thread...
Best way: the third OS/VM would need to run on a separate PC/server for 24/7 runtime.
Use QEMU/KVM host here.
On your dual boot machine, use virt-viewer client to connect to the other PC VM. This client is known in Linux but it also has a Windows release. Hence you should...
Copy that.
Last thing to check: is Memory Integrity also off?
Now on a philosopher's route:
Have you actually confirmed that Workstation is running in Native Mode? This may already be the case and the rest is just a ghost chace.
If you look at how Win11 is functioning, I assume this is by...
That msinfo32 line isn't very specific so not sure what to make of it in the end. What hypervisor is detected if all features are disabled...
More important is a stable system and that VMs run fine without hiccups.
After trying all those steps, does VMware Workstation actually work normally or...
Indeed.
It was well mentioned that the host is a laptop.
Sorry, I got that from another one of your threads.
Anyway. That is still pretty decent specced for a laptop.

Start with the provided defaults. But start minimal. No use to over-donate resources to the VMs.
Note virt-manager's...
Interesting.
I don't use this myself yet but looks like a good tool on the go.
There's some info on the offiical how-to but nothing over the offline part, unfortunately:

If it is meant for personal use, the stick will be...
Something to keep in mind, there are multiple ReFS versions across different Windows versions. This is still in development.
I stick with one older version of the FS, the one from Win8.1 I believe.
I heard stories of the disk being RAW after some OS upgrades. This is troublesome, for instance...
I hope not. It is an experiment of its own.
Well the last 10y+ I don't recall any power outages that took my PC down with issues.
The data is backed up in any case. So far no issues with the ReFS disk. Just for simple -one-partition- data disks this works fine.
Indeed, for a home user on a single disk, this is purely curiosity.
No RAID setups here.
Note that even for a single disk there are some things to consider.
There is no classic check disk after power failure. There is actually no UI check disk option the way home users are familiar with.
What...
Hi @jimbo45
I use ReFS on some of my internal data disks. All works fine. Games, not that I play much, are saved there too and the VMs also there with no issues.
Even old DOS sfuff in DosBox runs from my ReFS partition, programs are all happy; the host OS handles it pretty well.
Thing is I...
Looking good. And fresh!
Fedora 43 is still in Beta...
The 44 at the moment is indeed for the adventurous. 😁
Gnome or KDE no worries.
I'm patiently waiting for the XFCE transition to Wayland.
