Windows 10: Created a storage space via powershell and all the drive show as full in the UI

Hello,


I wiped my storage spaces to switch from mirror to parity and came across the bug with the storage space UI. To get around it, I used PowerShell to create commands to create the storage space which seemed to work. I get the drive on my PC and it should the right amount of storage space used and the right amount free. Now, when I look at the storage space UI and open up the view of the physical disks, all of the disks show full whereas when I did this via the UI in the past, physical disks would show the percentage physically used versus now where it appears to be showing the space allocated for SS.


My questions: does it matter? Is there a way to have it show the amount used on the physical disk?








Any insights would be appreciated. This was my first time using powershell.

Storage Spaces - created a Raid 0 with Powershell but the Manage Storage Spaces UI doesn't show correct pool capacity usage

To upgrade my old blu-ray storage disks, I created a new 3 disk, 3 column Simple pool using the process described here:

Storage Spaces - trying to create a Raid 0 with Powershell

It seems to have worked correctly and it is reporting 3 columns, vs 1 column with previous 4 disc Simply Storage Space. However, it shows 100% pool usage in Storage Spaces UI for this pool vs. the actual number in the 1 column pool which was set up via
the UI (I noticed it is the same in the linked Answers process). Windows Explorer correctly shows the data and space remaining on the pooled drive letter.

Question:

1. Are the steps in the linked "answers" post accurate?

2. Assume they are, is there a way to get Storage Spaces to report space usage correctly?

3. If there isn't, is there anything that I might need to be concerned about given that is working and Explorer reports usage correctly?

 

Show storage space in This PC


I can't get This PC to show the storage space bars for my drives and I've done all that's been suggested in this thread.
Any ideas why I might not be able to make the storage space bars show?

 

Storage spaces doesn't show some of my drives.

I went into Control Panel / Storage Spaces. There was one option - Create A Storage Pool. I clicked that and it gave me a list of drives with one drive in the list. It was the USB drive. The other drives do not show up. They are both SATA drives. The first
one has the OS on it. The second one is formatted but empty. I have created files on it and deleted them so I know the disk is working.

I will try to get a screen shot at some point however, I don't as of yet have network access on that machine.

I was able to create a drive in the storage pool using only the USB drive.
