I'm in the middle of trialing DrivePool/Scanner, and the latter is giving me a problem that sounds AWFULLY similar to this one: http://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/1172-file-system-damaged/ No matter what I do, or how many times I run ChkDsk, I get "File System Damaged" for my C: drive within Scanner.
Running Scanner ver. 2.5.1.3062 on Windows Server 2008 R2
I try to do a ChkDsk (scheduled for reboot) with /F /V /R /B, which to my understanding is just about as thorough as can be for an NTFS drive.
Running ChkDsk in a command-prompt, no flags, gives this warning: "The volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk might report errors when no corruption is present." One of the errors I'm frequently seeing in such a situation is "The Volume Bitmap is incorrect." Yet when I try to do a thorough check/repair at reboot, Windows says there is no problem!
Like the above forum post, I had removed drive letters for my DrivePool drives and instead mounted them to C:\DrivePool HDs\Drive0 C:\DrivePool HDs\Drive1 etc.
Taking a pointer from that poster, I tried unmounting and re-mounting, then ChkDsk /F during reboot, to no avail. Then I tried unmounting, ChkDsk /F /V /R /B at reboot, and Scanner STILL flags a problem when I tell it to scan (with DrivePool drives still unmounted).
* Edit * Immediately after that last attempt, I went in and re-enabled verbose logging for ChkDsk, in advanced options, since that setting clears at reboot. Then I had Scanner re-scan to make sure the log file had more info. This time it PASSED, even though the two attempts were only minutes apart, with the 'verbose' setting being the ONLY change. What?! Trying to repeat my good fortune a second time showed File System Damaged again, though.
I will submit log files through the Contact page, but wanted to keep the discussion (mostly) public in case this helps someone else in the future.
There was no conclusion posted for that conversation; has some solution been found? If not, could we get an option to exclude only specified drives from File System checking?
