I've been having issues lately with an existing storage space. I had a drive fail and the storage space was too thinly provisioned to recover. I removed the drive from the space and recovered some of the data using a recovery software.
I didn't want to have the same problem again so I bought 4x5TB drives to add to the storage space. The storage space would then consist of 5x5TB, 2x4TB, 1x2TB, and 1x1.5TB. I attempted to add the 5TB drives to the space, but kept receiving errors. I decided to move the data to two of the 5TB drives, delete the storage space, and start with a new one.
However, I'm unable to create a new storage space using any combinations of the drives I've mentioned above. I've tried creating the storage space on two different Windows 10 Professional computers and always receive the error:
The Request is Not Supported.
I did some more troubleshooting and running the command get-physicaldisk
showed all of the drives with a status of False for the field CanPool:
I then ran the get-physical | FL
command and it shows the "Insufficient Capacity" for the "CannotPoolReason" for each drive:
All of these drives have been formatted and are completely empty. They all have GPT partitions and have no issues being used independently.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. I can't find what is causing me to be unable to create a new pool with these drives.
