How I love chkdsk /f, while drive activity does seem normal, it apparently found invalid security descriptors on files and instead of telling me where they removed them from, it just randomly removed security and left it BLANK or Administrator only full control.
Some are good, and some are bad. Everything from our My Doc redirection folders to public drives, to GP install DFS paths all the permissions are either right or wrong with no idea of what? And since some are good and some are not, restoring from backup would not be the greatest idea, except that perhaps I can restore with the do not restore if new target exists using BUE. Not sure if it would make a bad problem worse or save the day. Event log doesn't give you much. It looks like this will be fun. I am applying user folders with their default permissions and applying to all files and subfolders to get their files right, but everything else is just going to be reactive fixing. I would love to know what caused this corruption... Just security descriptor errors according to the event log, no other errors.

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.
