Has anyone configured a ReFS drive on a Windows server from an iSCSI target on a QNAP NAS?
We're currently backing up to QNAP devices using SMB shares, but are looking to move to iSCSI to take advantage of ReFS. Reading Veeam's best practices, I've had no problems in formatting it with 64KB block size, but I'm not sure about configuring a 256KB block size on the LUN.
The only thing I can find ont he QNAP is the sector size, which can be 512 bytes or 4K. Would one be better than the other? Any issues with this setting?

Re: iSCSI on QNAP Devices
Hello,
the block size of the LUN has very little impact on the overall speed. If the option is not available, the defaults are fine (no need to tune / search for that setting).
Best regards,
Hannes
