ERROR_SPACES_ALLOCATION_SIZE_INVALID

Allocation size belongs to the provider's virtual-disk mapping geometry

ERROR_SPACES_ALLOCATION_SIZE_INVALID reports that an explicit allocation-size value cannot be represented by the selected storage provider or pool. This setting governs how virtual capacity is allocated from the pool; it is separate from interleave, stripe width, and the file system's cluster size.

Provider implementations can impose minimum, maximum, and alignment constraints tied to metadata slabs, provisioning type, or storage tiers. Rounding a value in application code without reading the actual supported range can silently request a different geometry.

Validate units and provider constraints

Confirm the API field's units before converting from KB, MB, or PowerShell size literals.
Query the selected pool or subsystem for supported allocation behavior.
Remove the explicit value and compare the provider-generated default.
Check compatibility with Thin versus Fixed provisioning.
Keep allocation size distinct from Interleave and volume allocation-unit size.
Recreate test virtual disks rather than changing production geometry experimentally.
