I am getting the following error in my logs:
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume2.
I am not completely certain which volume the error is referring to. Here is the output from diskpart:
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ---------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 931 GB 0 B
Disk 1 Online 932 GB 0 B
Disk 2 Online 932 GB 17 MB
Disk 3 Online 932 GB 0 B
DISKPART> list volume
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info

Volume 0 E DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 159 GB Healthy System
Volume 2 D NTFS Partition 771 GB Healthy
Volume 3 X BACKUP01 NTFS Partition 932 GB Healthy
Volume 4 SBS_Backup NTFS Partition 931 GB Healthy
Volume 5 F Monthly Arc NTFS Partition 932 GB Healthy
Physically Volumes C: and D: are partitions on the internal 3 drive RAID 5 array.
Drive X is an external USB drive which is used by the SBS backup exclusively
Drive E is an External USB used for flat file backup
Drive F is an External USB used for archive purposes.
The internal SBS backup has failed the last few days giving a drive related error but the diskpart output makes it look to me like the log entry is referring to the D: partion (where all our data is). We have not noted any problems accessing or writing to files on the server.
So my question is which drive/partition is the error referring to and how do I go about fixing it. Also what are the risks associated with running chkdsk on a RAID and are there precautions I should take. Thanks
This stuff scares the crap out of me.........
