Re: ignore Alternate Data Streams

Yes, I only copy and don't sync.

When I try to copy a file with ADS bigger than 128 KB from NTFS to ReFS in Windows Explorer, I get the same error message about a file system limitation.

ignore Alternate Data Streams

Hi

The source filesystem of a copy job is NTFS, the target is formatted with ReFS. ReFS has a limit of 128 KB for ADS. Some files have bigger streams.

When FFS tries to copy such a file, it fails "due to a file system limitation".

It's clear that it's not technically possible to copy the file ...
