I have a storage pool of 4 5tb hard drive. When I set up a storage space with two-way mirror I have an option for format of NTFS or ReFS. If I change it to parity the ReFS option is removed and only NTFS is in the drop down. How do I create an ReFS storage space with parity.

Hi,

Unfortunately quoting from Building the next generation file system for Windows: ReFS Steven Sinofsky MSDN blogs.

Q) What about parity spaces and ReFS?

ReFS is supported on the fault resiliency options provided by Storage Spaces. In Windows Server 8, automatic data correction is implemented for mirrored spaces only.
