VDS_E_VOLUME_SHRINK_FVE_RECOVERY
VDS_E_VOLUME_SHRINK_FVE_RECOVERY means BitLocker has marked the volume for recovery and VDS will not shrink it. MS-VDS instructs the caller to recover the volume with BitLocker tools and then retry the operation.
Recovery state must be resolved before resize
BitLocker recovery can use a recovery password or recovery key according to the configured protection and recovery policy. The important sequence is to regain authorized access and return the volume to a known protection state before modifying its size. A forceful partition edit bypasses the safety boundary represented by this HRESULT.
What to verify
- Confirm that the recovery condition belongs to the target volume and retain its protector identifiers for support records.
- Use the organization’s authorized BitLocker recovery path and protect the recovery material from disclosure.
- When recovery is complete, verify volume health and recompute the shrink amount before issuing a new VDS operation.
