Windows- "Storage Space" software bug (Windows 10):
Diagnostic Work:
1. All Errors Goes Away when Drive 2 is unplugged, I.E. when the good drive is unplugged.
2. Error can pop up on either drive depending on which order the are plugged in.
3. Fresh install of Windows did not fix this.
4. Clearly not a drive problem.
My thoughts and questions:
1. Seems like something is wrong with the Pool Headers(?) that are on the two drives?
2. Does it make sense to delete the pool and recreate the pool with the same two drives?
3. Can this be done without erasing and reformatting the drives? It doesn't seem like there is a way to remove physical drives from the pool without deleting the data on those drives.
4. So far, the only way I can figure to correct this problem is to reformat the two drives, and then recreate the pool with the same two drives. Any other way to correct this weird error?
Thanks for your help!
