Not possible to extend HAImage over ~32 Tb

Hi,

Is there any way you can reformat the storage as NTFS (full synchronization will be needed).
Do you use dynamically expanding partition on your underlying storage or is it a simple ReFS volume?

Unfortunately there is no way to reformat the storage.
Volume is simple ReFS.

Can you please share the screenshots that showcase free space on both replication partners?
Please share also the logs from both servers (use log collector https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware. ... collector/)

Thank you for all your help, we finally found the source of our problems!

Initially our Storage Spaces included 6 HDDs on each node then we expand it to 10 HDDs. So pool was set up to have 3 columns and didnt changes to 5 columns after adding new HDDs.

So now we need to rebuild our pools and recreate HApartner on each of node waiting loooong full hash sync

Hi!

We rebuilt storage on one node.
First i recreate lesser device HAImage2 using RemoveHAPartner.ps1 and AddHaPartner.ps1 and its all ok.
Then i recreate bigger device HAImage1 and on second node it become HAImage3.
Such naming isnt so usefull as i expected. Is there any way how i can rename HAImage3 in HAImage1 after full hash sync end?

There's no straightforward way as it is needed to modify the config files on both nodes.
The easiest way will be just to leave it as is.
