Txfs2
This automated test evaluates the transactional capability of the NTFS file system (TxF). It contains scenarios that test simple transacted operations, such as creating and deleting a file, or committing and rolling back the transaction. It also tests more advanced features of TxF, such as savepoints, miniversion, and secondary resource managers (RMs).
This test runs on the volume where it is started, typically the system volume. For the test to work correctly, this volume must be an NTFS volume or a compressed NTFS volume.
