After a bad-sector error, NTFS dynamically remaps the cluster that contains the bad sector, allocates a new cluster for the data, marks the original cluster as bad, and no longer uses the old cluster. NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to restore the consistency of the file system when the computer is restarted after a system failure. (To find out about ReFS, see Resilient File System.) Practical applications For additional feature information, see the See also section of this topic.

The newer Resilient File System (ReFS) offers some additional features, but we recommend that you use NTFS in production deployments of Windows Server 2012 R2 and earlier versions of Windows.įor information about new and changed functionality in NTFS in Windows Server 2012 R2, see What's New in NTFS.
