Seems Microsoft is bringing back the option for ordinary Windows users
to format volumes as ReFS
<https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/new-advanced-filesystem-format-option-found-in-windows-11-preview-build-refs-supports-up-to-35-petabytes>.

This filesystem made its first appearance years ago, but then
Microsoft began removing the option for using it from various
non-“Enterprise” versions of Windows where it had been introduced.

NTFS is certainly showing its age. But it’s not clear that ReFS is
really enough to take Windows forward. It seems a bit lacklustre
compared to the options that have long been available on Linux, for
example.
