<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
we have a file server with a 10TB &nbsp;scsi-pass-through drive to a Dell equallogic san array<br />
the server rebooted and chkdsk kicked in automatically.<br />
2 days later and chkdsk is at &quot;10% complete &gt;&nbsp;index entries processed&quot;<br />
the drive has 8 TB of data and approximately 10 million small files<br />
--does anyone know how long it will take for chkdsk to complete?<br />
--can we shutdown server and kill chkdsk?<br />
-- any other suggestion we should do?<br />
<br />
this is a production server so we need to bring it back-online soon
