Up to now I had 2 x 2TB Drives configured as a StoragePool sPool01 and a Virtual Disk vDisk01 (Mirror/Thin). Now I added a 3rd 2 TB drive and added the drive to the Storage Pool "sPool01". So far so good.

But now I am not able to create a new virtual disk. Strange enough it does not matter whether I specify simple, mirror or parity.

Any ideas? (BTW, recently did a refresh install of the server itself, as I was still running on an eval from a pre-release Version.
