Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
I've been looking into ReFS on Server 2012 R2 Standard (a VM running on ESX version 5.5). From what I've read, ReFS is supposed to support 32k folder/file names from the previous 255 limit. For whatever reason I'm still hitting the 255 limit...<br />
<br />
My questions are - has anyone had a chance to look at this as well? Is there something else I need to configure? Is it because I'm running a VM?<br />
<br />
Sorry to flood the questions, but if ReFS works as advertised my shop really wants to implement it.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

Windows Server 2012 ReFS Long Folder/File Paths Issue?

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
