Halogen-Eyes Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hi,This one is wierd, I've never seen it before. I'm helping administer a server on a remote site. That said, I've no idea what's transpired over the last 6 months on that server which makes this harder to work out. Basically, the system contains a Raid-5 container which us consumed by a single NTFS partition. The partition is reported to be 260 odd GB in size. Now, when I right-click on the partition (e:\) in explorer, the properties dialog states that the disk has a capacity of ~260GB, with ~240GB Used and ~20GB Free. Then I expand the drive, "select all" and right-click and go to properties. For some reason, it states the the total size is ~150GB. I have an administrative logon, and I've enabled viewing of all hidden files and folders.Has anyone experienced anything like this before? It has me stumped.

/\/\o\/\/ Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 HE,could it be that there are homedirs or redirected folders on that disk ?,becouse even admins do not have rights to them.the counter will stop when it encounters the first dir that it can't read.gr /\/\o\/\/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halogen-Eyes Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hey,Yeah I thought of the permissions thing, so I ran a script over the entire drive to ensure that each ACL included BUILTIN\Administrators, and they all showed up clean.Just for extra info, it's a Dell PowerEdge 2650. Only thing i can think is that it has a corrupt FAT or perhaps bad Disk Subsystem firmware/bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
