So I woke up this morning to some alerts from Scanner that 2 of my drives had filesystem issues (both drives are in a pool).
Running the link to fix the drive within the Scanner fixed one drive right away but my 8TB drive failed and asked me to run chkdsk manually. I assigned the drive a letter and chkdsk reported the following:
Stage 3: Examining security descriptors ...

11604 data files processed.
The Volume Bitmap is incorrect.
Windows has checked the file system and found problems.
Running it with the /scan switch found no issues but running it without it did. Here is the full output of both commands run back to back:

Is this an issue and if so, can it be safely fixed or am I looking at a drive replacement?
