Storage Spaces - disk failure

Question

Hello everyone!

One of my disks in Storage Spaces suddenly failed, and it was simply impossible to keep it physically connected and boot the OS at the same time. So, I bought a new disk, swapped with the old one, and added it to the Pool in Storage Spaces. After that, I wanted to remove the old one from the Pool, but it stuck at 0.03%...

Then I tried luck in PowerShell, but without success (maybe because I'm not honestly an experienced user).

Simply put - it did nothing while repairing the virtual disk or removing the wrong, physical one. Even though there was written "running" on the bar above.

Is there anything I can do to make Storage Spaces work again, or is it not possible because it only accounts for the scenario where the physical disk I want to remove is still plugged into my PC, which is something I cannot do?

Answer 1

Nevermind. As I found out, the same issue was never solved, the only solution seems to be to format the pool and start over. Thankfully, the formatting at least allows to remove the failed disk and create a new pool (for those who would trust Storage Spaces for one more try).
