[Server 22538] Deduplication gets stuck, refuses to cancel, while fsdmhost.exe spins indefinitely
Feedback Hub link On a brand-new disk (WDC WD60EFZX), after creating a storage space, ReFS, bitlocker, copying 3TB of data, and enabling deduplication, the deduplication process begins and starts...
Hi,
Same for me with all versions... Anything to try or a workaround for this issue?

LaurentF_CHHey Laurent, wow, I had forgotten about this issue. My apologies, I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you, as this problem was the end of the road for myself and ReFS. Unfortunately there were too many downsides over the years and not enough benefits. I still do have one old disk using ReFS in my personal machine, which doesn't have dedup enabled, but I intend on replacing it within the next month or so.
However, when you say "all versions", do you mean all insider versions? If so, I would post a new bug report to hopefully gain more traction than this one did, it might be useful to reference this old one as well.
