I have a bit of a issue. I have a 40TB MS parity Storage Space that was formatted in ReFS 64k on Server 2019. I had accelerated r/w's with software called PrimoCache. Yesterday I installed some MS security updates and rebooted. After reboot my Storage Space disk was offline. I then brought the disk back online in disk management but the drive was reporting a RAW state but the drive letter was still present, unable to access the disk in explorer. The data is still present on the array disks and if I scan with ReclaiMe File Recovery the ~20TB of data is present but this would require me to copy the data onto external drives.
This is actually the second time this has happened. The first time I was unsure if PrimoCache was the culprit, but since I never had this issue in the years before using it I'm fairly certain this software caused the drive to become raw.

Currently TestDisk is scanning the drive but I am unable to find any documentation on ReFS support. Could this software recover a RAW ReFS volume? I'm not super concerned with some data loss as I do have data backed up on external drives from the first disaster but I would rather try to recover the ReFS partition than copy data back on a freshly formatted volume. I'm letting TestDisk run to see what it comes up with, so if anyone has any experience with this file system any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

As there is no information about Storage Spaces and ReFS, there is no support for Storage Spaces and ReFS.
