Win2012 - Storage Spaces: Rebuild == Gone?
No, don't fret - it just LOOKS like they're not there any more. By default Windows Server sets any storage space drives to manual attachment mode rather than auto-attach mode. To fix it we need PowerShell.
First, get the list of Virtual Disks:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-VirtualDisk
FriendlyName ResiliencySettingNa OperationalStatus HealthStatus IsManualAttach Size
me
------------ ------------------- ----------------- ------------ -------------- ----
ReFS RAID 10 Mirror OK Healthy True 4 TB
RAID 5 ReFS Parity OK Healthy True 5 TB
Now, you know the names of the virtual disks to modify. Get the properties of the virtual disk and you'll see the source of the problem (the screenshot should make it more obvious where to look):
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-VirtualDisk "ReFS RAID 10" | fl

Since you already know a little PowerShell you have probably worked out that you next need to use the Set-VirtualDisk cmdlet:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-VirtualDisk "ReFS RAID 10" -IsManualAttach $False
Check your results with the Get-VirtualDisk command:
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-VirtualDisk "ReFS RAID 10" | fl
ObjectId : {73c0ad00-f4d5-11e1-93ee-001b21b01e8b}
