This release supports Oracle Database installation on Resilient File System (ReFS). ReFS uses checksums for file metadata, and an allocate-on-write method to update data which minimizes the risk of corruption.

ReFS supports volumes from 256 zettabytes to a maximum of 4 petabytes. ReFS stores and protects data from common errors that cause data loss. ReFS is resilient to power outages. ReFS also protects data based on volumes, directory, and files.
