I have search everywhere trying to find out EXACTLY what's inside an ReFS Metadata Block. Particularly, I would like to know the sector-offset of the file pointer that's within the metadata block.
"...where the file has content a file pointer, it will point to the 16KB metadata block address." - http://resilientfilesystem.co.uk/refs-metadata-block

There is quite a lot of ReFS research out there now if you go looking.

My experience of Partition ID for many Linux file systems is that nothing is defined. 7 is always NTFS, and Reiser may or may not be 7. You need to look at the start of the partition to determine the actual format.
Programs such as HP Media Vault use Reiser as JOBD RAID, and have a unique boot sector
