I have a storage pool with multiple parity and mirror volumes set up and populated with data. All are thin provisioned.
When I try to optimize a volume the process seems to get stuck at Slab Analysis:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter o -ReTrim -SlabConsolidate -Verbose VERBOSE: Invoking slab consolidation on misc (O:)... VERBOSE: Slab Analysis: 0% complete...
CPU is idling, there is close to zero disk access. After 28 hours there has been no visible progress. The volume has 29 GB of data, uses 49.5 GB of pool capacity, so it's not huge by any standard.
Obviously something is not working right. Event viewer shows nothing out of the ordinary, as far as I can tell. OS edition is WS 2012 Essentials but I posted here as it seems not to be an Essentials-specific issue.
Any suggestions on how to further analyze this problem are welcome.
