Hi all,
I'm testing out doing some mount points to move forward with EV 10.0.3. I believe mount points will be more flexible for us.
With that in mind, I got my new mount point drive, got a fresh disk from the SAN and mounted that disk at "D:\ICEV01MailStore Ptn4". The new partition created successfully. On another server, I followed the same steps, but there the partition did NOT create (error about the folder not being empty. That's not too important at the moment).
So, I thought I'd delete the partition I created first, but when I try EV seems to hang a bit and eventually gives me a dialog saying "Unable to delete the partition <ICEV01MailStore Ptn4>. Reason: Unspecified error".
The following events are also logged: 7114, 6916, 6916

I cannot find any guidance on the correct procedure to follow to delete a partition (e.g. whether it should be Closed, Open or Ready, do it while services are stopped, etc) but I assume Right click > Delete is correct.
So what's going on? The only file in the partition path is EnterpriseVaultPartitionRoot.xml. Is this because of the mount point? That's something to test while anyone reads this :)
Thanks
