VDS_E_EXTENT_SIZE_LESS_THAN_MIN

VDS_E_EXTENT_SIZE_LESS_THAN_MIN means the specified extent is too small for the volume type, file system, or storage provider. The operation must use an extent that meets the provider minimum.

What to check

  • Inspect existing partition offsets and sizes before calculating a new extent.
  • Use the provider or storage tool to determine its minimum size and alignment requirements.
  • Make sure size values are not being rounded down by a script or unit conversion.

Compare the requested extent with the minimum reported for the exact disk, partition style, file system, and operation. A size accepted on one storage layout does not prove that the same byte count is valid on another.
