Description

Hit an issue while trying to use this with my repo that's on a Windows 11 dev drive. DevDrives are an ReFS-formatted drive, which by default does not have a usn journal. This was easily fixed by running fsutil usn createjournal on the drive, but I wanted to create an issue just to let you know that this is likely to come up more given this is a new feature of windows, and it might be worth adding a line about them to the FAQ.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the FAQ file in the repository and add a note explaining that ReFS drives (like Windows Dev Drives) require manual USN journal creation via 'fsutil usn createjournal' before using AssetCooker.
