Can we add a Linux partition on a drive containing a Windows 10 storage pool?
How should I partition my hard drive to allow these 4 operating system to be installed?Can I install Windows 8 onto a Storage Spaces PoolHow to recover a Win8 Storage Pool that had it's partitions deletedRebalance hard drives in a Storage Space Pool?Is there a program that can expand a hard drive partition by adding online storage?Recover unallocated partition (Windows Storage Space/Pool)Can I use Storage spaces in Win10 to pool SSD and HDD drive together?Computer Not Recognizing Hard Drive Previously Used In Storage Space PoolStorage Pool Read-Only UnhealthyHow to repair mirror set in Windows Storage Pool?
About a year ago we had set up a Windows 10 pro machine with a 250 GB SSD and a 3 TB hard drive using the defaults from the installer.
The plan was to leave 1 TB unpartitioned for later use in Ubuntu. However for reasons obscure to me Windows 10 did not create an NTFS partition. Instead it had created a single 2 TB "storage space/storage pool" on that drive which of course can not be accessed by Ubuntu. The partition table is GPT.
From Ubuntu gparted all of the 3 TB of the drive shows as used up with an "unknown file system" for such a storage pool (German locale "Speicherpool"):
The Windows partition manager only sees the 2 TB "DATEN" pool. It appears to be unaware of another 1 TB of unused space on drive 2 (drive 1 holds Windows 10 and Ubuntu).
We can see all of the drive in the storage pool settings where it is aware of the 2,72 TB provided by the drive:
It appears that Windows had grabbed the whole drive when we wanted to give it a partition only. I understand that I could probably grow the pool to the maximum size of 2,7 TB but this would no help me in providing storage to Ubuntu. I also understand that we may not be able to shrink it later.
Is there any solution for this? Is it possible that we add an extra Ubuntu-accessible partition to the unused section of this drive?

Windows didn't create the storage pool, you did. I think reinstallation is the solution.

@harrymc; fair enough. If what I had done was irreversible we obviously will have to partition the drive with using a more traditional partition scheme. Will I have to announce the removal of that storage pool to the OS?
