Right you are. Even without the /f I would first do a backup, as any activity can make a bad HDD worse.

Dell 2950. Tens of thousands of files, thousands of directories. Whenever something hard hits the arrays like a VSS snapshot, Defrag, the drives completely become inaccessible to the host or remotes. Drives are lit up near solid, but there are no signs from the raid card of a drive failure, raid issue. Leave the system along long enough and it comes back from death. Any ideas where I could start. Letting it run a defrag tonight. Thanks Greg *** The information in this e-mail is confidential and intended solely for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
