This past weekend, I had a problem with Exchange 5.5 SP4. It would not start and gave errors like these:
Event Source: ESE97 Event Category: Database Page Cache Description: MSExchangeIS (3196) A read of the database file d:\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\PRIV.EDB between offsets 0x0000000013D60000 and 0x0000000013D60FFF failed after 16 failed read attempts with error -1018. Event Source: ESE97 Event Category: Database Page Cache Event ID: 116 Description: MSExchangeIS (3196) Synchronous read page checksum error -1018 ((1:81247 1:4294967295) (4294967295-4294967295) (0-103810989)) occurred. I can't restore from backup as I think this has been going on for a while. After reading through KB articles, I tried running eseutil /d but it stopped about half way through. I ran isinteg -pri -fix -test alltests and it made a variety of fixes (4) and gave 7 warnings. I then ran isinteg -patch and was able to start everything up just fine. I thought it was all fine at that point. I ran checkdsk /f /r /v which found a few weird errors. Last night, when the backup software ran I found the following errors (about 8 of them) in the event log: Event Type: Error Event Source: ESE97 Event Category: Online Defragmentation Event ID: 184 Description: MSExchangeIS (3196) Online defragmentation of database 'd:\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\PRIV.EDB' terminated prematurely after encountering unexpected error -1018. Event Type: Error Event Source: ESE97 Event Category: Database Page Cache Event ID: 116 Description: MSExchangeIS (3196) Synchronous read page checksum error -1018 ((1:81247 1:4294967295) (4294967295-4294967295) (0-103952452)) occurred. I read enough about eseutil to know that it sounds like it can really screw the pooch. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks, Arch Willingham Please note T.U.
