PoolFS documentation

Start with the PoolFS README to download the Windows ZIP, create and mount a pool, check its data, and grow member images.

Usage guides

• Desktop manager — create, open, mount, grow, and verify pools.
• Pool management — discover and control mounts.
• Portable pools — move images and configs between Windows machines.
• Mount configuration — JSON fields, member paths, and pool names.
• Password encryption — creating and unlocking encrypted pools.
• V6 integrity and recovery — offline checks and current limits.

Design and test records

• Filesystem design — member layout, checksums, journal, and recovery boundary.
• Benchmark results — dated measurements and raw result files.
• Recovery test record — dated process-exit and guest-reset outcomes.
• Host crash test scope — scope and limits of an internal probe.
• Historical member experiments — older image and raw-partition findings.

The historical notes describe pre-release tests and older formats. The current Windows download uses v6 member image files. Keep an independent backup of PoolFS data you care about. Public benchmark JSON omits test VM disk and partition identifiers.
