VDS_E_VOLUME_EXTEND_FVE_RECOVERY

VDS_E_VOLUME_EXTEND_FVE_RECOVERY is specific to extending a volume whose BitLocker state is marked for recovery. The MS-VDS contract instructs the caller to use BitLocker recovery tools and retry only after that recovery condition has been resolved.

Resolve recovery state before changing volume geometry

IVdsVolume::Extend adds disk extents to the members of the volume’s plexes. VDS blocks that layout change while BitLocker reports recovery state. This is different from the “locked” extend code and from the code that reports VDS could not load Fveapi.dll to determine encryption status.

What to verify

Identify the exact volume and confirm its BitLocker recovery state using authorized management tooling.
Secure the applicable recovery password or recovery key and complete the organization’s recovery process before resizing.
After recovery, refresh the volume and extent state, verify backups, and issue a new extend request based on current geometry.
