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.

Virtual Disk Service is a legacy COM API. On Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and later, inspect and manage supported storage through the Storage Management API and the Storage PowerShell cmdlets.
