I am running Windows 10 Storage Spaces using USB HDDs. I had a one 2TB HDD failure which crashed my Storage Pool with 6 VirtualDisks. Via Powershell, I have been able to remount and off load the file data on the smaller 5 VirtualDisks to stand alone USB HDDs. However, my largest 60TB Parity Thin volume remains in Degraded, Inservice condition but will not mount with a drive letter. It has automatically gone into Repair status but stuck at 0%. If connected via Powershell, the 60TB VirtualDisk crashes the Windows 10 SS GUI, but shows up in Powershell Get-VirtualDisk. I cannot access any files on this VirtualDisk so I cannot off load the files.
I have purchased additional USB HDDs after the one 2TB HDD failure and currently my Storage Pool reports 44.5TB of 115TB used. Prior to the crash, the 60TB VirtualDisk was holding about 30TB of files (30TB X 1.5 Parity = 45TB). I am thinking there must be more than enough unused capacity in the Storage Pool to rebuild/repair the 60TB VirtualDisk, but again, the Repair job is stuck at 0%.
Disk Management shows the 60TB VirtualDisk as offline, and wants me to initialize the disk. But, from what I understand, that would completely erased ALL data in that VirtualDisk.
Is there anyway to look into the stuck Repair job to see why it will not move beyond 0%? Is there any other way to repair this 60TB VirtualDisk that I could try? Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
