Karl-WE  Hi, apologies for the delay. We've investigated this a bit further. Can you look in “\windows\system32” directory to see if the files “untfs.dll” and “uReFS.dll” exist? It looks like dispart is failing to load those modules. 

 

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi AndrewHansen 

no problem, holiday, covid, potentially more reasons. As long we get a solution I am happy.

    Hi Karl-WE,

    Thanks for the response.

    We tested on the latest flighting insider build and was not able to repro this issue. Formatting volumes (both NTFS and REFS) via Disk Management, Server Manager and diskpart all work fine. Can you please try upgrading to the latest build and see if the issue persist?

      YanranHao yes I will try. It will demand to move some VMs back and forth but that's ok. 

      This is a local NvME disk where I have tried it last time. I can also double check the situation in Windows Server VM. It should give same results.

        YanranHao this will take some more time as Ned Pyle is currently investigating an SMB related issue in b20282.
