Storage pool Space full

I know this must have been asked many times, in my lab environment my storage pool filled completely while on vacation, it will only mount in read-only which is good because I didn't lose anything, but I can't mount it in read-write mode how do I remove
data from the full pool so I can mount in read/write without adding an additional drive which I don't have room for in the box?
it's a 4 TB pool on server 2012 r2, it's a fixed pool of 4 1.5 TB drives

Hi,
Please test of following cmdlet could help mark it to Read-Write:
Set-StoragePool -FriendlyName "Storage Pool 1" -IsReadonly $False
If so, delete files inside to see the result.
If that will not work either, you may need to enlarge the virtual disk space with adding more physical disks.

  • After upgrading to 8.1 Pro from 8.0 Pro, my Storage Spaces and Storage Pool are all gone.

    Under 8.0 I had three 4-terabyte drives set up as a Storage Pool in Storage Spaces.  I had five storage-space drives using this pool  I had
    been using them for months with no problems.  After upgrading to 8.1 ( which gave no errors ) the drives no longer exist.  Going into "Storage Spaces" in the control panel, I do not see my existing storage pool or storage drives. I'm prompted
    to create a new Pool and Storage Spaces.  If I click the "Create Pool" it does not list the three drives I used previously as available to add.
    Device Manager shows all three drives as present and OK.  
    Disk Management shows Disks 0,1,2,6.  The gap in between 2 and 6 is where the 3,4,5 storage spaces drives were.  
    Nothing helpful in the event log or the services.
    I've downloaded the ReclaiMe Storage Spaces recovery tool and it sees all of my logical drives with a "good" prognosis for recovery.  I've not gone down that road yet though because it requires separate physical drives to copy everything to
    and they want $299 for the privilege.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  I'm thinking of doing a fresh 8.1 install to another drive to see if it can see it or reinstalling 8.1 to the existing drive in the hope that it will just suddenly work.  Or possibly going back to 8.0.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How storage spaces mirror onto multiple storage pool drives...

    Tricky question to pose..
    I currently have 2 * 2TB drives in a storage pool.  I have a 2 TB storage space assigned to this pool (lets call them A and B).  I have 2TB of mirrored storage across 4TB of drives.  All is well...
    If I add a third 2TB drive "C" to the storage pool, how will 2-way mirroring work now?  My hope is that it will evenly mirror across each drive in the pool ( 1TB mirrored across A + B, 1TB across A+ C and 1TB across B + C) giving me effectively
    3TB of mirrored storage. 
    If it does work as I hope, does the server rebalance the mirroring?  Say I have already used 1.8GB of storage by the time I add in the 3rd drive, there is only 0.2GB on each of the morrored drives available.  When I add in the 3rd drive, if the
    server does not re-allocate, then I would only gain 0.4GB of storage (0.2GB A+C, 0.2GB B+C) leaving 1.4GB unusable.
    If not as I hoped, how do I make use of the 3rd drive?  I assume the 3rd drive is useless in that pool unless I do 3-way mirroring or I add another 4th drive?
    Thanks,  Mark.

    A Storage Spaces mirror configuration stores 2 copies of each data block on 2 different physical drives.  However, it does not balance the data.  So in your specific example, adding a third drive to a mirror environment won't help much. 
    You would really need to add a fourth 2 TB drive at the same time.

    We are running DPM 2010 and added one iSCSI drive with over 7 TB to the storage pool. When creating a new protection group, DPM throws the error "insufficient disk space". I'm new to DPM and none of my research has shown a reason for this error.

  • HT4847 My icloud storage is almost full on my iphone.  When attempting to free up space, after I click "off" on some backups and do I also press delete backups?

    My iphone shows icloud storage is almost full.  (When attempting to free up space) after I turn off some of the backups, do I also have to press "delete backups"?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That depends on how quickly you want the space back. If you want it immediately, then yes you will need to delete the back up and start a new one.

  • DPM Storage Pool on Windows Server 2012R2 iSCSI target Storage Spaces - supported?

    Hi,
    for migration purpose we need more space for one of our DPM 2012R2 Servers.
    And we cannot buy more space for our NetAPPs..
    So our idea was to use an Windows Server 2012R2 as an iSCSI target and use Storage Spaces.
    I remember something that using an iSCSI target on Windows 2008 was not supported.
    Is this configuration supported when usinf DPM 2012R2 on Win 2012R2 and the target is Win2012R2 aswell?
    Thanks in advance

  • VirtualDisk on Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Pool stuck in "Warning: In Service" state and all file transfers to and from is awfully slow

    Greetings,
    I'm having some trouble with my Windows Storage Pool and my VirtualDisk running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 installation. It consists of 8x Western Digital RE-4 2TB drives + 2x Western Digital Black Edition 2TB drives and have been configured in a single-disk
    parity setup and the virtual disk is running fixed provisioning (max size) and is formatted with ReFS.
    It's been running solid for months besides some awful write-speeds at times, it seems like the write performance running ReFS compared to NTFS is not that good.
    I was recommended to add SSD's for journalling in order to boost write-performance. Sadly I seemed to screw up this part, you need to due this through PowerShell and it needs to be done before creating the virtualdisk. I managed to add my SSD to the Storage
    Pool and then remove it.
    This seem to have caused some awkward issues, I'm not quite sure of why as the virtualdisk is "fixed" so adding the SSD to the Storage Pool shouldn't really do anything, right? But after I did this my virtual disk have been stuck in "Warning:
    In Service" and it seems to be stuck? It's been 4-5 days and it's still the same and the performance is currently horrible. Moving 40GB of data off the virtual disk took me about 20 hours or so. Launching files under 1mb of the virtual disk takes several
    minutes etc.. It's pretty much useless.
    The GUI is not providing any useful information about what's going on. What does "Warning: In Service" actually imply? How am I supposed to know how long this is supposed to take? Running Get-Virtualdisk in PowerShell does not provide any useful
    information either. I did try to do a repair through the Server Manager GUI but it goes to about 21% within 2-3 hours but drops back down to 10%. I have had the repair running for days but it wont go past 21% without dropping back down again.
    Running repair through PowerShell yields the same results, but if I detach the virtual disk and then try to repair through PowerShell (the GUI wont let me do repair on detached virtual disks) it will just run for a split second and then close.
    After doing some "Googeling" I've seen people mentioning that the repair is not able to finish unless I have at least the same amount of free space in the Storage Pool as the largest drive in my Storage Pool is housing so I added a 4TB drive as
    due to me running fixed provisioning I had used all the space in the pool but the repair is still not able to go past 21%.
    As am running "fixed provisioning" I guess adding a extra drive to the pool doesn't do much difference as it's not available for the virtual disk? So I went ahead and deleted 3 TB of data on the virtual disk so now I've got about 4 TB free space
    on the virtual disk so there should be plenty of room for Windows Server 2012 R2 to re-build the parity or whatever it's trying to do but it's still the same, the repair wont move past 21% and the virtual disk is still stuck in "Warning: In Service"
    mode and the performance keeps being horrible so taking a backup will take forever at these speeds...
    Am I missing something here? All the drives in the pool is working fine. I have verified using various bootable tools so why is this happening and what can I do to get the virtual disk running at full state again? Why doesn't the GUI prompt you with any
    kind of usable information?
    Best regards, Thomas Andre

    Hi,
    Please run chkdsk /f /r command on the virtual disk to have a try. In the meantime, run the following commands in PowerShell to share the output.
    get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> | get-physicaldisk | fl
    get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> |fl
    Best Regards,

  • Extend volume - Storage Pools - iSCSI - "Extend failed" // "Error extending volume: Size Not Supported"

    Hi,
    I've created a storage pools of 44x 1TB SAS, my storage pool name is "DAS" with 39.1TB (35.8 TB Free Space)
    I have a virtual disk named "iSCSI_DFS", Simple, Thin, 20TB with 3.05 TB Allocated
    I've created volumes on that disk, NTFS, Thin, Different size.
    I create iSCSI VIRTUAL DISKS on those Volumes, same size (my volumes are full)
    I want to "extend" my volumes size... I click on my volume, Extend Volume, enter a new size (current is 162GB so I enter 200 and select GB) and click OK
    The Volume status turn to "Extend failed" with "Error extending volume: Size Not Supported"
    Can you help? I need to change my volumes size...
    Thx

    I also could not get my partition to extend using the new Windows Server 2012 interface.  Did you try to extend volume from the "computer management", "disk management" console?  Get there from Administrator Tools - Computer Management.  I
    was able to extend my partition only from there.  You need to first make sure you have available space on the disk.  I had to delete an empty volume first before I was able to extend the partition.  Hope this helps.   Anthony :)
    Thx !! 
    While in the Computer Management, I realised that my Disk was "Basic" and not "Dynamics", Extending using the Disk Management suggest to switch to Dynamics, and it's now working.
    The error in the Server Manager should be "Unable to Extend : Your disk is Basic" or something like.
    The Disk is a virtual disk on my Storage Pools.!!!

  • How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

    how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

  • Server 2012 R2 Storage Pool Disk Identification Method

    Hi all,
    I'm currently using Server 2012 R2 Essentials with a Storage Space consisting of 7 3TB disks. The disks are connected to an LSI MegaRAID controller which does not support JBOD so each disk is configured as a single disk RAID0. The disks are connected to
    the controller using SAS Breakout Cables (SATA to SFF-8087).
    I am considering moving my server into a new chassis. The new chassis has a SAS Backplane for drive attachment which means I would be re-cabling to use SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cables instead and in doing so, the channel and port assignment on the LSI MegaRAID
    will change.
    I know that the LSI card will have no problem identifying the disk as the same disk when it's connected to a different port or channel on the controller, but is the same true for the Storage Space?
    How does Storage Spaces track the identity of the individual disks?
    Just to be clear, the hardware configuration otherwise will not be changing. Motherboard, CPU, RAID controller etc will all be the same, it will just be moving everything into a new chassis.

    Hi,
    If the disks are still recognized as the same, the storage space should be recognized as well.
    You could test to do the replacement and see if the storage pools are being recognized. If not you can still change them back with original devices and storage pools will back to work. Then we may need to find a way to migrate your data. Personally I think
    it will work directly. 
    Note: backup important files is always recommended.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 keep telling me that storage is almost full?

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 it has been acting strange. I keep getting messages telling me that the storage is almost full yet when I check there is over 358mb of free space. I have tried restoring my iPhone but I still keep getting these error messages. Also I have noticed that I can no longer delete music on my iPhone, before I could just swipe and delete any track or album but now I can't. Another stupid 'improvement' of iOS 7 or is it just me being stupid?

    I'm having the same issue with my new iPhone 5S (iOS7).  Looked everywhere online for solution (including apple support website) and it seems that not many of us are having this issue.
    Were you able to fix it?  I restored my phone twice already, stopped and restarted my icloud backup save, deleted that save and remade another one, name it I've done it.  Oh and just so that we're clear, I have over 8 GB free on my iphone and over 3 GB free on my icloud.  I'm not that naive!
    Hope anyone has a solution!
    Thanks for your help!

  • ICloud Storage is Almost Full

    I have now received an E Mail from iCloud Support that my storage space is almost full.  The first time I got the E Mail, I scheduled a call with Apple Support to confirm that the E Mail was wrong.   It says I have 0.2 GB of free space when I in fact have almost 2.0 GB of free space.   Apple confirmed this.
    Now the E Mail came again and I assume it will come more times until Apple realizes it has some sort of error generating this E Mail.
    It would be nice if Apple allowed for E Mail support or at least responses to their messages sent to users.   Perhaps posting this will help in that Apple might see it and fix the problem.

    The iCloud Team
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Here's a tip: Part of what I do is photography, so I normally treat my iPhone as another camera. So, what I do is after I have finished taking some shots/videos with it, I download them to my computer (in my case, via Aperture). For everyone else, on the Mac there is the free Image Capture app, or the iPhoto app (which, if you have the latest version of Lion, it isn't built in there, so you would have to download it from the App Store for a fee).
    I have made it a habit to use this method whenever I finish taking pictures at the end of a day (but that's just me). Also, keep in mind that the videos that you take on your iPhone can take up a lot of space very quickly (for instance, one minute of 720p HD video recorded on the iPhone takes up over 300 MB of space!), so you would need to keep that in mind when shooting videos. SO, to answer your questions above:
    1) Right.
    2) No, because it is only a backup, not the Camera Roll itself.
    3) You should not be worried about deleting the iCloud backup of the iPhone Camera Roll. What would happen (in terms of the method) is that you first would download them to iPhoto first, then delete the images from your Camera Roll. This then would free up your iCloud storage space. Lastly, placing them in your iPhoto app will not tell your backup on your phone to delete them. When you delete the images from your camera roll, your "backup" will be smaller in size than it was beforehand.... Hopefully that made sense.

  • Win 8.1 Storage Pool not allowing "add drive" nor allow expand capacity

    Have one Storage Space within one Storage Pool (Parity mode) containing 4 identical hard drives.
    Used for data storage, it appears to be functioning normally
    and
    has filled 88% of capacity
    (ie. 88% x 2/3 of physical capacity (parity mode))
    The only other storage on this new PC is an SSD used for OS (win 8.1 pro) and application software.
    In "Manage Storage Spaces"
    displays this warning message to add drives:
    <   Warning                               >
    <   Low capacity; add 3 drives   >
    After clicking "add drives", it displays:
    "No drives that work with Storage Spaces are available. Make sure that the drives that you want to use are connected.".
    However I had connected another two identical hard drives via SATA cables and "Disk Management" displays these two drives available.
    in summary:
    "Manage Storage Spaces" does not find these drives as available although they show correctly in Disk Management.
    btw - I removed the pre-existing partitioning on the 'new' drives so now they show only as "unallocated" in "Disk Management". (I did
    likewise before Storage Pool found the 4 original drives)
    Perhaps the problem is to increase the total nominal capacity of the Storage Space, before can add more drives?
    Microsoft says that the capacity of Storage Pools can be increased but cannot be decreased -
    but computer displays no Change "button" by which this can be done. There is supposed to be a "Change" button but that is
    not displaying for me. So "Manage Storage Spaces" offer me no option to manage the "size" of the pool.
    only five options are displayed:
    Create a storage space     (ie. from the small amount remaining unused in the Pool)
    Add drives     (.... as explained already)
    Rename pool    (only renames the storage space)
    Format        (ie. re-format and so lose all current data)
    Delete         (ie. delete the storage space and so lose all current data)
    using Google, find nothing bearing on this problem
    except the most basic instructions to set up a storage space!
    Can you help?
    The problem is that the Storage Pool is not displaying a "button" to increase capacity, and when click "add drives" finds no hard drives available. 

    Hi,
    I would suggest you launch Device Manager, then expand
    Disk drives. Right-click the disk listed as "Disk drive", and select
    Uninstall. On the Action menu, click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the disk.
    Please also take a look of this link:
    see this part: How do I increase pool capacity?
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11382.storage-spaces-frequently-asked-questions-faq.aspx#How_do_I_increase_pool_capacity 
    According to the link, to extend a parity space, the pool would need the appropriate number of columns available to accommodate the layout of the disk.
