Symlink issues in ReFS on Windows

This article details a peculiar issue encountered with the Resilient File System (ReFS) on Windows, commonly used for Dev Drives. The author describes a scenario where a symlink chain (e.g., file.txt -> Versions/Current/file.txt, with Current -> A) fails to resolve after the parent folder is renamed, returning 'file not found'. However, listing directory contents with Get-ChildItem temporarily fixes the issue, suggesting a filesystem caching bug. The article provides a PowerShell reproduction script and analysis, making it relevant to developers and IT professionals dealing with ReFS, symlinks, and Windows filesystem behavior. It is a technical troubleshooting guide focused on a specific filesystem bug.
