Hi,

I have had a HP tech arround for two days now. This morning we just about
swapped out everything from the DL360 server and put all new parts in. All
but the CPU's and the power supply. Ok, we had another problem as well
but..... When running chkdsk (without the F parameter) I keep seeing errors
like:
Deleting index entry Da142000c024ce455.vir in index $I30 of file 12506.
[....]
Deleting index entry main.mbx in index $I30 of file 19883.
Deleting index entry main.uid in index $I30 of file 19883.

It's pretty much allways $I30.

"When you remove a file or folder that had 'custom' permissions, the ACL is
not deleted, it is cached. Chkdsk /f removes ACLs that are no longer used."

Seems like this is "by design" and it disturbs people. Wish you the best in
understand the ways of Microsoft. Your issue may be quite similar or you are
mixing tools like Symantec which thinks one thing and CHKDSK which thinks
another way.

So far, I don't see a failing hard disk issue.

He refers to:  http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBE/tip2200/rh2217.htm where something
like this is mentioned.

However.....
Running the GUI version (My Computer, C: drive, properties, toos tab, Error
checking) it will *never* finish phase 2. Phase 1 will complete, the near
the end of phase 2 it will report: "Windows was unable to complete the disk
check".

Microsoft has a document http://support.microsoft.com/kb/169404/EN-US/ which
talks about this but refers to it being a NT 3.51 problem. A few lines later
the problem is also in NT4. They do *not* mention Windows 2000.

This seems to be a problem on servers where:
[....] If many files are repeatedly added to a directory and then deleted
from the directory in such a way that the "binary tree" that indexes the
directory becomes unbalanced, the "index root" attribute for the directory
is repeatedly destroyed and re-created.

Sounds a lot like a situation which might happen on a mailserver. :-(
However, we only process 4k messages a day, nowhere near what others do.
Anybody know what to do?

Met vriendelijke groet,

Bonno Bloksma
