Chkdsk scan needed on volume

Question

Wednesday, April 22, 2020 7:31 PM

I have a 2016 Failover cluster using CSVs.  One of my CSVs indicates "Chkdsk scan needed on volume"  Is it just that simple? Should I run chkdsk against the CSV in question or are there other factors I need to take into consideration?

Thanks

Hi,

Please turn on Maintenance Mode from Failover Cluster Manager for your CSV first.

For the detail steps, please see this:

In addition, When running the repair command, if the file structure is too damaged to be repaired, the data block may be deleted. Therefore, this repair command may have the risk of data loss. Please make a backup in advance.
