VDS_E_VOLUME_TOO_BIG
VDS_E_VOLUME_TOO_BIG is listed by IVdsVolumeMF::Format as a format result: the volume size is too large to format. That context is more precise than a general statement about disk capacity and should be preserved when the HRESULT is diagnosed.
Do not assume that free space is the limiting value
The format method receives a file-system type and allocation-unit size, and its return table separately identifies oversized volumes, oversized clusters, and cluster counts that exceed a 32-bit representation. The rejected size can therefore be part of a file-system or format combination even when the disk itself supports the capacity.
What to verify
- Record the target volume size, selected VDS file-system type, and requested allocation-unit size together.
- Check the specific format and file-system limits instead of reducing the partition by an arbitrary amount.
- If a different file system is considered, treat that as a design and data-migration decision rather than an automatic retry.
