I have a Cluster Disk under Failover Cluster Manager -> Storage -> Disks with 5.46TB of capacity, but when I click on it, it shows the volume with only 1.36TB.
Not sure how to increase the Volume.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Please try to "extend the file system" directly, check if it could help. If seems we have extended the disk perviously, while the file system hasn't been extended.
DISKPART
List volume
select volume 5
Extend file system
Best Regards,
Anne
Once again thank you for the support.
This was the case, the file system was what needed to be extended.
DISKPART
List volume
select volume 5
Extend filesystem
Thank you once again.
Glad to hear it works. You are welcome!
Hi,
1.The “Capacity” shows full disk size, the CSV volume size shows the volume formatted in disk manager.
2.If we want to extend the CSV volume, we may follow the steps below.
1) On the owner node of the CSV, please open CMS as administrator.
2) Please enter the following command in CMD.
diskpart
list volume
select volume <csv volume>
extend
extend filesystem
3) After then, check if the CSV volume is extended in the FCM.
Here is an article about how to extend CSV, for your reference.

Hi XiaoweiHe-MSFT,
Thank you very much for your detailed answer.
My Disk Management shows no unallocated space available.
When I run Diskpart it says:
There is not enough usable free space on specified disk(s) to extend the
volume.
Not sure what else to do?
I appreciate your help.

Thank you for the information Leon,
What should I do if the metadata operation was run from the non-non-coordinator node?
You may try the disk extension mentioned under the "Workaround" section, after that is done, you could try failing over the disk to check if the volume size updates.
