Windows 10: Manage Storage Spaces does not appear to work

Storage Spaces appears to be non functional in 19041.388 version 2004.


I have tried adding 5x 10tb drives formatted as ntfs gpt.


I receive this error


So I deleted the ntfs partitions.

Same error.


Rebooted.

Same error.


Use disk part to clean the drives, remove everything including gpt label

Same error.


Rebooted.

Same error.


Rebooted into safe mode. Had no running programs whatsoever besides critical windows processes in safe mode.

Same error.




How can I get this to work?

Conflicting information on my Storage Space...

From disk management, it does report the same storage and used space as from explorer.
May I ask did you try to create a storage pool or something ? if so, you should not mess with this.

Is this disk an external disk connected via USB ? WD or Seagate branch ?

I have the feeling that this disk is formatted with GPT type using 512K emulation so Windows get confused. To verify:

1. Right click on Disk 6 ->Properties->Volumes. What does it show on partition styles ? GPT ?
2. Download Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Free, install then run. What does it show on disk 7 ? MBR ?

If step 1 shows GPT and step 2 shows MBR then definitely the disk was formatted using 512K emulation. The reason they did this so that it would be recognized by WinXP or if you connect it to a TV.

Windows Updates failed is another problem you have. First, it tried to updates from 1703 -> 1709 and failed so any subsequent updates to 1803 also failed.

Many thanks, muchomurka!

Unfortunately, following your suggested procedure it appears the Storage Spaces parity error persists.





Any other suggestions?

 

"Change" option not available to manage storage spaces

Hello KAC_NYC.

To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

• Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
2. Click OK.

• What type of storage pool are you using? (Simple, Two-way mirror, three-way mirror, and Parity)?
• Where does the incorrect storage size occurs? Is it through Disk Management or File Explorer?
• Kindly send me a screenshot of the missing "Change" link.

Meanwhile, you may try running the command in this article
to optimize storage pool.

Currently, this is the only thread
I've came across that is very similar to your concern.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.
