[ISSUE] b20251 b20257 b20262 b20270 b20282 b20287 Formatting a volume fails
affected builds (tested): b20251,b20257,b20262,b20270,b20282
remotely via Server Manager from b20201
initializing as GPT / reset / clean works fine.
creating partition works fine
formatting volume fails
repro steps:
reset disk
new volume
fs refs or ntfs, default settings
format will fail (see diskpart and Server Manager)
if server manager is used, update cache will run eternally until wizard is closed

Karl-WE Hi, thanks for reporting this issue! To help with the diagnosis, can you please also try using Disk Management? I'd like to see if this issue persists across Diskpart, Server Manager, AND Disk Management.
- Hi AndrewHansen, unfortunately it does.
EldenChristensen AndrewHansen hi there I can confirm there is no change in b20270
- Hi there is there any news from the team? I really hope we can find the root cause and fix so I do not have to "reserve" a drive for testing. Thank you very much in advance!
- YanranHaoMicrosoftHi there, in your previous repro for "NOT OK - diskpart > format fs=xxxx quick (GPT initialization, volume / partition creation works)", did you did you select the primary partition and activate it before running the format command? Is so, can you record a TTT trace (instruction here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/time-travel-debugging-record) for executing the failing "format fs=xxx quick" command?
- Thanks for your response. Sure I can try this, I am not familiar with this process. Shall I repeat with Server Manager?
Is there a possibility for a remote session if I cannot manage it?
