Alert on SERVER at 5/18/2006 9:09:49 AM
The following disk is low on free disk space. Low levels of free disk space can cause performance problems and prevent users from saving files on the disk.
Drive Letter: HarddiskVolume6
Free Disk Space: 0.000000. MB
% Free Disk Space: 0.000000.%
You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change Alert Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting taskpad.
Any Ideas what HarddiskVolume6 is ?

As Jeff said, almost certainly a USB disk.
Sometimes doing a full Scandisk of the problem USB drive seems to fix it. Dont ask me why as i have no idea.
my occurance of this problem has not reappeared in the last 3 months.....

That's true, because a scandisk will reset the error flags on the drive that were caused by removing it incorrectly. When it's removed incorrectly something like an "open-file" flag is left even though no files may have been left open.

BackupExec works fine for me as quick removal as it explicitly supports Removable Disks
