[NTSysADM] WTF? Way too many Volume/Disk GUIDs

I've got a 2012R2 file server with some problems. It recently locked up, and we had to force boot it through the VMware interface. It's got 13 drives with letters, plus the usual system reserved partition. Here are the volume GUIDs from PS: # GWMI -namespace root\cimv2 -class win32_volume |

Do those show up in the event log like this? Warning,2016-01-13 02:48:37,Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs,140,None,"The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: \\?\Volume{38f28236-b991-11e5-80ea-005056b43cf4}, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume15.

Re: [NTSysADM] WTF? Way too many Volume/Disk GUIDs

OK - per MBS' suggestion, I ran 'vssadmin list shadows'. Here's one stanza: Contents of shadow copy set ID: {facc10d3-818e-40e8-b7cd-65030507c7f9} Contained 1 shadow copies at creation time: 2017-03-30 04:00:05 Shadow Copy ID: {8f76f079-7ac6-4fc4-ba2a-61a0327b5b83}

Re: [NTSysADM] WTF? Way too many Volume/Disk GUIDs

I'm not at work so I don't have the reference handy, but there is a VMware article for something like that. Is the backup taken via a VM snapshot and the timings of the events match? If so, it's a known issue, blamed on VSS, and can be ignored :-) I've seen it in VMs with both NetBackup &

Re: [NTSysADM] WTF? Way too many Volume/Disk GUIDs

Thanks for this. Firefox and Chrome displayed that page just fine, but Cyberfox didn't like it at all. Weird. The message I get in Cyberfox is " 1 $deletedMessageForViewDocumentPage " Good article though, even if my machine is 2012R2 and not 2008R2 or earlier - the symptoms are the same. Kurt

Generally speaking, unless a backup is in process, or you have file history enabled, there shouldn't be any shadow copies. -Original Message- From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Friday, March 31, 2017 4:56 PM To:

Re: [NTSysADM] WTF? Way too many Volume/Disk GUIDs

Yes, this is a VM on vSphere 6.0. We back up using snapshots via a Barracuda 995 appliance. This sounds like the most likely explanation. Just for the sake of completeness, I took all of the GUIDs from 'vssadmin list shadows', and with the exception of the known GUIDs for the drives there was no

[NTSysADM] Wireless bridge

Hi all, Can anyone recommend (with actual real world use) a good wireless bridge , its purpose is for controlling theatre equipment so throughput / bandwidth is not a great concern, just communication from the bridges to the router. thx
