Dev Drive on Windows 11
- hackeredje 3y agoWhat is the approach to backup the dev drive to my nas ?
- fire 3y agooh neat, ReFS isn't dead interested to see performance metrics when tech youtubers start messing around with it
- fires10 3y agoOh, I used this and the performance and deduplication surprised me greatly in ReFS. I was using it as a place to store backups of my systems. The on disk vs the file size was so great that I had to rethink my offsite storage solutions. There was a recent article on here from a researcher at Microsoft on file size and deduplication.
- Avamander 3y agoDeduplication is awesome, it's really unfortunate how dangerous it is with things available on Linux. I've had ZFS corrupt itself twice and not after disabling it, on the same hardware. And btrfs died on me once - I'm not 100% sure it's exactly due to that, but there's a limit how much I'm willing to spend time copying terabytes.
- bravetraveler 3y agoWas the btrfs failure with RAID? Compared to LVM/dmraid with other filesystems on top... BTRFS is remarkably easy to fault. I can reliably break BTRFS RAID using the reset switch on my system. Others behave fine via journaling and whatever, same devices/kernels/RAID level
- fire 3y agoyou mind speaking more about the kind of size differences you're seeing? also, do you have a link to that article by chance?
- fires10 3y agohttps://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/fast11/tech/full_papers/Meyer.pdf https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/fast11/tech/full_papers... I had 66TB folder that appeared to be 21TB on disk. Granted there was significant duplicate data as this was backups of multiple systems.
- fire 3y agoholy crap
- pjmlp 3y agoBesides this use case, it has been supported on Windows Server configurations.

- _8j50 3y agoSo, I wonder. Can I persist my malware(red team) in a dev drive? Maybe that's the first thing a win11 infection routine should do, set up a dev drive via powershell and avoid scanning.
- egeozcan 3y agoI guess if you can already do things like creating drives on the target system, it's already game over.
- _8j50 3y agoNah, defender is a PITA. There is theory and there is reality. Theoretically you can load a vuln driver and load a rootkit or just disable defender but both those things are highly detectable in mature environments. But a developer or jetbrains.exe setting up a nice dev drive is too noisy for a detection and too burdensome on your devs to block it outright.
- nailer 3y agoI wonder if this fixes search indexer. For TWENTY years, across a variety of devices, including the last three Microsoft surface devices, my machine will occasionally become uncontrollable, and after waiting one minute for task manager to eventually appear, it will show search indexer running. I know other people do not have this issue, but I suspect the cause is me having lots of very small files on certain drives.
- esperent 3y agoYou should turn off the search indexer for the folders with lots of small files. Or just disable it entirely and use Everything search instead.
- nailer 3y agoYep. Every year or so I re-enable it to see if recent Windows updates have fixed it. They never have.
- Saris 3y agoIt is pretty crazy that it's still the same as always. Personally I set the windows indexer to only index the start menu, and use Everything for all my other searches since it's instant.
