Storage Spaces: Parity Space has Error but does not state what the problem is

Question

Hello Microsoft

maybe you can help. I already tried every result on google and asked in a win10 forum. No help.

I have a running storage pool with 3 x 4TB in parity on Win10. The HDDs are ~2 years old. CrystalDisk shows everything green on them.

However, Windows shows me an error. https://imgur.com/a/ORq0YGk It says error but does not say what the problem is.

I also checked Get-StoragePool and Get-VirtualDisk: https://imgur.com/a/nLL4QMk

There is seem that the status is "Detached".

If I try to attach it I get this error:

It seems that everything Hardware wise is fine. I just can't access it. Maybe someone here has a tip on what I could try. Thanks in advance

Hi Kulu Matic,

Hope you're doing well.

Based on the error message you provided, it seems that the virtual disk is not attached and therefore not available for use.

1. You can try to attach the virtual disk by right-clicking on it and choosing the "Attach Virtual Disk".
2. If this does not work, you can try repairing the storage space by running the "Repair-VirtualDisk" cmdlet in PowerShell.

3. What's more, it could be storage pool corrupted, if none of these solutions work, you may need to rebuild the storage pool and restore data from backups.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
