Both the 32TB music volumes are near full, and its annoying having the collection split (I cant resize them bigger than 32TB because of allocation unit size) so I want to make a new one that will last me well into the future, but win 11 will not budge as far as I can see on a 63TB limit on a single space.

 

Before I go down the rabbithold of moving everything to something on a nas based OS like unraid etc, is there a cheat to make a space with allocation units big enough to go out to the 100s of TB on normal desktop windows?

Guess what, All I had to do was run

 

 

 

 Resize-VirtualDisk -FriendlyName "Music" -Size (80TB)

 

 

 

 

and then go and resize the partition as normal. Its just locked in the desktop gui to manage them that it has the 63TB limit.
