Hi there,
I have a storage pool containing 3x2TB physcial disks: one WD and two Seagate. Pool have 2 virtual disks: Data (mirrored) and Temp (Simple). After some time Temp drive disappeared from the list and I lost all data on it. Not big deal but I want to recreate storage pool as saw somewhere that data structure or something has changed since first release of Storage Spaces (I'm using them from first official beta of Windows Server 2012).
So as I'm lost my Temp drive, I decided to do following:
1) Delete WD disk from storage pool, so data will remain on 2xSeagate (I have about 1,5 TB of data)
2) Reformat WD as single drive and copy everything to it
3) Delete old storage pool
4) Create new one
5) Create mirrored virtual disk
6) Copy data back from WD to that virtual disk
But I'm stuck on removal WD from storage pool, as Server manager says me that there is not enough space in storage pool and I should first connect spare disk.
Looks like my Temp drive disappeared, but space not has been purged. So is there any way to get my Temp dirve back or manually run cleanup?
