hi binary man brent,

thanks post.

find have post 3 same question, delete other 2 duplicate ones. if there's wrong, please feel free contact us.

according to  the get-physicaldisk | fl option, seems cannotpoolreason is related insufficient capacity.

, windows storage spaces subsystem,the “can pool” property  set true if disk has @ least 4gb of contiguous unallocated space.

it's strange in scenario, please test if replace disk , change disk, still shows same results?

best regards,

mary
