VDS_E_DEVICE_IN_USE
VDS_E_DEVICE_IN_USE means that the target device is currently in use. It can be held by an open volume, a mounted file system, another storage operation, or a component that depends on the device, so forcing a retry without identifying the use can risk interruption.
What to check
- Identify mounted volumes, active operations, and applications or services that may be using the selected disk.
- Check whether the requested change requires the volume to be offline or dismounted under a supported maintenance procedure.
- Coordinate with backup, antivirus, indexing, and storage-management tasks before changing device state.
