MicrosoftThanks for the followup. To collect time travel, first set up time travel debugging as described at Recording Time Travel Traces. Then run the below commands.
net start smphost # this is to ensure that the mispace process is up and running
$id = (Get-Process | ? { $m = $_ | Get-Process -Module -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; $m.FileName -like "*mispace*"}).Id
start tttracer.exe "/attach $id" # note the ""
<run repro>
tttracer.exe /stop $id
The file will be dropped at .\svchost01.run.
net start smphost # this is to ensure that the mispace process is up and running

Hello it smphost or snmphost?
YanranHao I have decided to install this server from scratch. I can confirm this has fixed the issue.
It seem there was a problem with PowerShell New-Volume introed in B20251 which did not fix with upgrades to later versions.
Now I have installed b20234 from scratch the issue is completely gone.
Maybe you can find something in the logs but it seems to be a local issue that happens when upgrading from previous versions.Thanks for your time. I will retry the behaviour once after upgrading to 20239 or later to make sure it does not reappear, is this ok?
Hello YanranHao i have reproduced the issue with Server Manager and recorded it. I have sent you the Onedrive link in a direct message.
let me know if there is anything else I can do and if the file is helpful. Otherwise I can also try to repeat directly with PowerShell New-Volume if this record does not include enough or relevant data.- YanranHaosmphost
