It seems like the repair command corrupted the metadata. That when I reinstalled W8 CP, the storage pool was corrupt and CP could not access the pool at all. It didn't produce any output (like it didn't do anything), but after I installed RP and since it reported an error accessing the pool but showed all drives as OK, I assumed a simple disk repair could fix it so I tried to run Repair-VirtualDisk in Powershell.

My Parity space was asymmetrical with different sized disks. I had a fairly large (about 9TB) parity space that was created in W8 CP. In W8 Developer preview? (unlikely, since DP only handled 2TB pools, and you say you've lost 6TB). different size disks)? Was the space created Now, there have been some changes made to the storage spaces, mostly to handle asymmetricalВ parity spaces (CP freaked out when one of the disks in a pool became full). To W8CP, both spaces show OK, files are readable. Put some files on them, attached them to RP, mirror space mounts OK, parity space shows corruption. What I did to reproduce your problem: Created a VM with W8CP, 3 virtual disks of 100GB, and put a mirror (2-way) and a parity space(3-way) on them. Have a look at the server thread, maybe it's helpful. I had the same problem with server 2012, however, there the restore is manual, because server does not mount storage spaces, disks or volumes automatically (the system does not know if the storage is multiplexed in a cluster, so it stays well away).

Then you can install Windows 8 Release Preview (same cycle as Windows 2012 Release Candidate)ДЄnd recreate a parity disk using the new format. You created under Windows 8 Consumer Preview (same cycle as Server 8 beta), you need to reinstall that older version and copy the data off the old parity disk format. So to access the data on the storage space After installation is complete, re-create the storage spaces and restore the data.Д«asically, the parity storage space layout has changed (to better support different sized disks, etc.). To avoid this, back up data stored in those storage spaces and delete the storage spaces before installing this release. If you use storage spaces that use the parity resiliency type and then install this release of Windows Server 2012, the data in those storage spaces Release notes refer to Server 2012, but this is relevant for Windows 8 as well. Recreate parity spaces and restore your data.

After the upgrade or clean installation is complete, you may At this point, you may upgrade or perform a clean install of Windows 8 Release Preview. However, for parity spaces you must backup your data and delete the parity spaces. Simple and mirror spaces and the data they contain automatically migrate from the Windows 8 Consumer Preview to the
