'wbadmin start sysrecovery‘ stuck on Bare Metal Recovery stage started: Running a recovery operation for volume LOGS(F:)

I had a WSB for 2012R2(Hyper-V VM) with the following fixed volumes.

When I perform Bare Metal Restore on another blank host(another Hyper-V VM with three disk),

wbadmin start sysrecovery -version:08/27/2020-06:24 -backupTarget:"\\?\Volume{67e9db52-e91d-11ea-a635-00155d060465}" -recreateDisks -restoreAllVolumes -quiet

Sometimes it can be restored successfully, sometimes it(wbadmin get status ) will stuck on 'Bare Metal Recovery stage started: Running a recovery operation for volume LOGS(F:)' and the command 'diskpart' stucked also,

Hi,
Disable or uninstall security software temporarily to check.
I consider that replace the backup drive and reconfigure a new backup. If the new backup fails then you have a problem on the server. If it doesn't it was the backup disk and you're done. Troubleshooting the server can be a chore. Check amount of free disk space on all the drives and start reading event logs.
You might need to look at dump to find out where the hang is. Procdump is a choice.

Please remember to accept the answer if they help.

Hi Carl,
Thanks you for your diagnosis suggestions.
In my side, I start machine with Recovery media (WinRE) which was extracted from WSB(.vhdx), so there is no security software in it.

BTW, the 'F:' is a spanned volume, I think this issue is related to this fact, because the recovery operation for volume 'C' is always success.
Do you think the dump file of vds.exe is useful for your diagnosis?
Best Regards,
Shawn
