  1. Storage pool shows correct capacity, explorer does not


    I have a storage pool with two 14TB disks. I recently added another 14TB disk to the pool, it shows the disk in the storage pool and the correct capacity is listed. In explorer and any other way to access the drive, it only shows the capacity of the two disks.

    :)

    Storage Spaces + Pool Capacity

    I have 2 storage spaces set up. I am a bit confused when it comes to one of them as it is not utilizing the full pool capacity after adding a disk. Does anyone know the command line commands to expand it to utilize the full pool capacity? I have tried
    to Optimize to no avail.

    Storage Spaces - created a Raid 0 with Powershell but the Manage Storage Spaces UI doesn't show correct pool capacity usage

    To upgrade my old blu-ray storage disks, I created a new 3 disk, 3 column Simple pool using the process described here:

    Redirecting

    It seems to have worked correctly and it is reporting 3 columns, vs 1 column with previous 4 disc Simply Storage Space. However, it shows 100% pool usage in Storage Spaces UI for this pool vs. the actual number in the 1 column pool which was set up via
    the UI (I noticed it is the same in the linked Answers process). Windows Explorer correctly shows the data and space remaining on the pooled drive letter.

    Question:

    1. Are the steps in the linked "answers" post accurate?

    2. Assume they are, is there a way to get Storage Spaces to report space usage correctly?

    3. If there isn't, is there anything that I might need to be concerned about given that is working and Explorer reports usage correctly?
