NTFS is the only option when Parity is selected as the resiliency type. I thought ReFS was suppose to replace NTFS? I am trying to create a storage space to use for network file share.

According to discussion at Storage Spaces, Parity and ReFS

  • ReFS in storage spaces is available only for two-way and three-way mirroring until Windows 10 Anniversary update incl.
  • Creators update brought support for ReFS parity storage space
  • Fall Creators update removes ReFS entirely from storage spaces
