Storage spaces ... corruption?

I had two 2tb drives set up in mirror mode. One got disconnected from the mother board for a coupla days. I discovered that when SS informed me there was 'reduced resiliency'. I reconnected the 2nd drive, and now it shows both drives as "OK", but
I still have the 'reduced resiliency' error message. MS level 2 support suggested that this might have occurred because something went wrong when SS tried to copy the now-reconnected 2nd drive. Perhaps a corrupted index or something.
My question is - has anyone heard of this? Is this really the problem, or is it something else? Their solution was to take all the data off the drives, reset the SS mirror, and reload the drives. Will this actually fix the problem? Any info is gladly accepted.
thanks!!!

Hi,
The default warning point of Storage Space is 70% capacity utilization. Therefore, please check the disk capacity utilization if it reaches 70%, Storage Space will warn of a low capacity condition.
On the other hand, try to use get-virtualdisk command in Powershell to check your storage pool properties if there is any abnormal situation.
You can also follow the method below to remove and add the drive again for test:

Corrupted Storage Spaces Protective Partition

I am running Windows 8.1 pro build 9600
In addition to the boot and data drive, I had two internal 2TB drives set up to use all their available space as a mirrored Storage Space Protective Partition, which, before the problem below occurred, contained about 1600GB of -- you guessed it -- largely
un-backed-up data.
I thought that if one drive fails, the mirror will act as backup, while stupidly forgetting the possibility of file corruption or ransomeware.
So, while the computer was in 'sleep' mode overnight, there was a power cut, and when I tried to reboot, Windows automatic repair kicked in and said it could not fix the system. I managed to boot to command prompt, and diskpart reported both offending
1863GB GPT disks online, with no free space
MOUNTVOL reported that the offending volumes had *** NO MOUNT POINTS ***.
CHKDSK appears unable to work on an unmounted partition.
I could try EaseUS pro data recovery, but from previous experience this will take anything up to 3 or 4 full days, and will not repair the damaged mirror. However, I'm not sufficiently familiar with DISKPART to know if, for example, the RECOVER
option might be helpful, or if it might further mess up the file system, in which case a commercial data recovery like EaseUS may have more difficulty in sorting out the mess.
I'd be most grateful for some ideas about what to do next...

Thank you for your reply. Since my fist post, I have managed to start the PC from a duplicate boot partition set that I made after upgrading to 8.1.
Disk manager shows the disks as present, healthy, and marked as Storage pool.
However, all options are greyed out so I cannot assign a drive letter, and as before, MOUNTVOL reports
*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***.
The problem with the recovery apps I've tried so far is that after scanning either drive, they find the partition, but classify it as UNKNOWN. If I run the same apps on other disks they can recognise all the usual FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3, ext4 etc.,
but they don't seem to know about Storage Spaces Protective Partitions.
Do you know of some recovery app that understands this type of partition?
I know I can try getting the recovery app to read it as a RAW partition, but the problem there is that from previous experience I guess it will take 20 hours or so to run, and then not be able to build a useful directory tree.
There are probably 200,000 or so files on the partition, of which I only need to recover one folder in which there are about 400 files not otherwise backed up.

When I look at my Ipod on Itunes on my laptop it is showing that I have a large amount of storage space taken up with Apps. (more than my music). In fact I only have the Apps which came with the ipod touch! How do I get my storage back?

I have an ipod touch 64GB. I have 3,146 songs, 3 videos, 106 photos and 1 app. The capacity of my ipod is 58 GB (I guess the remainder is the OS), It says I have 7.6GB remaining. When I look at my ipod on Itunes on my laptop the bar at the bottom shows a huge amount of storage space is taken up by Apps. I don't have any apps apart from the ones which came with the ipod touch which I cannot erase and wouldnt really want to. I am baffled why it says so much storage has been taken up by Apps! Please help me!!!

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected (on non-Storage-Spaces volumes where data integrity streams are enabled)?

According to William Stanek, in his Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out: Configuration, Storage & Essentials book, this is apparently possible: (pg. 615 - here it is on Google Books: https://books.google.ca/books?id=0IyfBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT819&lpg=PT819&dq=read+operation )
Integrity can be enabled when the system is not running on Storage Spaces. When
integrity is enabled and ReFS detects a checksum mismatch, ReFS logs an event and
fails the read operation by default. If you don’t want the read operation to fail, you
can configure ReFS to continue with the read operation. A related event will be logged
regardless.
So then how do I configure it to do that???
(And just to make it super-clear, I'm NOT using Storage Spaces, so there is no redundancy via mirroring/parity, and I'm not expecting any file repair - just detection of corruption. It's just a basic volume formatted with ReFS and
with integrity streams enabled, via format E: /fs:ReFS /i:enabled
For those who want more details, here's the situation:
I try to perform a read operation on a file with corrupted data (purposely done for testing using a low-level disk editor), I get a the following error message:
And an event ID 133 from ReFSv1 gets logged in the System log:
Clicking "Try Again" just brings up the same message, and clicking "Skip" skips the operation entirely.
This is indeed the correct default behaviour.
What I want instead is for the read operation to be allowed to complete, with corrupt data and all, and ONLY for the event to be logged. And according to William Stanek, this is supposed to be configurable somewhere - and after hours of searching, I haven't
been able to find anything.

Hi Tommy,
>>How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected
We can use PowerShell command Set-FileIntegrity to configure this. The specific parameter for controlling this behavior is
-Enforce <Boolean>which indicates whether to enable blocking access to a file if integrity streams do not match the data.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.

Unable to repair degraded Virtual disks in Storage Spaces under Hyper-V 2012 R2 Core

Hi all,
I am finding myself in the following conundrum. I have a storage pool under Hyper-V Core, with 2 2TB Seagate drives.
One of the drives completely died (wouldn't spin up, tried it in a different box, still to no avail). I sent it in to Seagate for warranty replacement, got the new drive. Installed it and went through the notions of adding it to the pool and retiring the
one that was with "Lost Communication" status.
Tried to repair the virtual disks that are showing as "Unhealthy-Detached", quickly get 100% complete, but the repair didnt work.
The storage pool is in degraded state.
Looks like metadata is corrupted.
Followed this post to upgrade Storage Spaces to latest version:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/eead59e9-5e49-4bb6-8cbb-1dafddd9576b/unable-to-repair-degraded-virtual-disks-in-storage-spaces-2012r2?forum=winserverfiles
Still, to no avail.
Couple of questions:
1) Is the data on the 3 virtual disks in state "Unhealthy: Detached" not recoverable?
2) How can I get the storage pool back to "healthy"?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Storage Spaces: Virtual Disk taken offline during file copy, marked as "This disk is offline because it is out of capacity", but plenty of free space

Server 2012 RC. I'm using Storage Spaces, with two virtual disks across 23 underlying physical disks.
* First virtual disk is fixed provisioning, parity across 23 physical disks: 10,024GB capacity
* Second virtual disk is fixed provisioning, parity across the remaining space on 6 of the same physical disks: 652GB capacity
These have been configured as dynamic disks, with an NTFS volume spanned across the two (larger virtual disk first). Total volume size 10,676GB. For more details of the hardware, and why the configuration is like this, see: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserver8gen/thread/c35ff156-01a8-456a-9190-04c7bcfc048e
I'm copying several TB from a network share to this volume. It is very slow at ~12MB/sec, but works. However, three times so far, several hours in to the file copy and with plenty of free space remaining, the 10,024GB virtual disk is suddenly taken offline.
This obviously then fails the spanned volume and stops the file copy.
The second time, I took screenshots, below. The disk (Disk27) is marked offline due to "This disk is offline because it is out of capacity". And the disk in the spanned volume is marked as missing (which is what you would expect when one of its member disks
is offline).
I can then mark the disk (Disk27) back online again, and this restores the spanned volume. I can then re-start the file copy from where it failed. There doesn't appear to be any data loss, but it does cause an outage that requires manual attention. As you
can see, there is plenty of space left on the spanned volume.
Each time this has happened, there are a few event 150 errors in the System event log: "Disk 27 has reached a logical block provisioning permanent resource exhaustion condition.". Source: Disk.

This error seems to be related to thin provisioning of disks. I found this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh848068(v=vs.85).aspx. But both these Virtual Disks are configured as Fixed, not Thin provisioning, so it shouldn't apply.
My thoughts: the virtual disk should not spuriously go offline during a file copy, even if it was out of space. And in any case, there is plenty of free space remaining. Also, I don't understand the reason for why it is marked as offline ("This disk is offline
because it is out of capacity"). Why would a disk go offline because it was out of thin capacity, rather than just returning an "out of disk space" error while keeping it online.

Interesting Thread, I've been having the same issue. I had a failed hardware RAID that was impossible to recover in place, so after being forced to do a 1:1 backup, I find myself with 5 2TB hard drives to play with. Storage Spaces seemed like an interesting
way to go until I started facing the issues we share.
So my configuration is A VM Running Windows Server 2012 RC with 5 Virtualized Physical drives using a SCSI interface, 2TB in size that make up my storage pool. A Single Thinly provisioned Disk of 18 TB (using 1 disk for parity)
Interestly enough, write speed has not been an issue on this machine (30~70MB/s, up from 256k on the beta)
Of note to me is this error in my event log 13 minutes before the drive disappeared:
"The shadow copies of volume E: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time.Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied."Source: volsnap, Event ID: 25, Level: Error
followed by:
"The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: E:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume17.(The physical resources of this disk have been exhausted.)"Source: Ntfs (Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs), Event ID: 140, Level: Warning
I figure the amount of space available to me before I start encountering physical limits is in the vicinity of about 7TB. It dropped out for the second time at 184 GB.
FYI, the number of columns created for me is 5

Steven Blom

My phone keeps saying I am running low on storage space. Over half of the contents in it is in the "other" category. what does that include? I wish to have more music

I have a 16GB iphone but am an avid music lover. I own tons of music. I have iMatch and iCloud. As of right now my phone says I only use about half of the storage space on it in audio. Very litle is used for apps or pictures. I have another half of the storage space in a category called "Other". What is in that category? I would really like to add more music however my storage keeps stating I am almost full and need to manage. I would delete things if I thought it would make more room but it seems to take very little room off when I remove apps and pictures and does not really affect the other category. Someone please help describe what is in that category and how I can change add more room. Thank you!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space.

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space. Can someone please help?

To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte. Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files. If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right. If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

Why is my iPad storage space filling up when transferring purchases to iTunes?

Hi there,
Hopefully somebody can help.
I recently bought an iPad & it's been great, but I noticed when I was Transferring my purchases from my Pad to my Mac, my iPads disk space starting filling up under the 'Other' catagory.
Why is it doing it? Surely it shouldn't be putting anything on to my Pad?
Now my storage space is almost full, but I have nothing on my iPad that wasn't there before.
Thanks for your time.
Paul

Okay, first thing is to look at all your iTunest tab settings like music, movies, podcasts, etc... to make sure you don't have it set to automatically download new content onto the iPad. If so, anything you've purchased on your computer will then turn around and try to load itself onto your iPad.
The next thing would be to do a restore to factory settings and then re-sync using your most recent backup, assuming you have a good backup. Once in a blue moon the data on the iPad can get corrupt somehow and give all kinds of false readings on how much memory is being used, etc... The restore usually fixes it.
Best.

Storage space virus?

My storage space on my iPhone 5 keeps showing no storage space left, even after I delete stuff the space fills up alone and Im back with not having space left. Could this be a virus? What should I do?

Before blindly jumping in and and trying a "shotgun" approach, first do some basic diagnosis. You may not have to restore your phone and wipe out all your data. Connect the phone to iTunes, click on its icon, and see how storage is allocated (on the bottom of the Status screen). The key entries are Other and Photos. If Photos is larger than you think it should be, see: Why does my iOS device say I have more photos than I can find?
You can also check this on the phone by going to Settings/General/About and checking the allocation to photos. If it is not right the same link above will fix it.
If Photos matches what your phone actually has, check Other. Normally it should be 1-2 GB. If it is MUCH larger than that you have data corruption. Start by restoring iOS on your phone and set it up as New. Then Restore your most recent backup. If Other again is very large after restoring the backup then the corruption is enshrined in the backup and you will have to restore again, and set it up as New, without restoring your backup.

Storage space full of residual data

The storage space on my iphone 4s is suddenly completely filled with residual data.
There 's no data space left. How can I delete these data?

Restore your iPhone by plugging it in to iTunes, letting it sync, then choosing "Restore" from thei iPhone's summary page.
"Other" can fill up with deleted emails (especially large attachments), corrupt data especially from suspicious apps. If the restore from backup doesn't work, try restoring as new and be very careful about keeping suspecious apps.

How do I reclaim iPhone5 storage space taken up by 'Other'?

Low storage space

i have deleted apps on my i pod but it still comes up with low storage space, help?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
I suspect that the "other" category is large. like > 1Gb and that it contains corrupt file. Restore the iPod delete the corrupted files.

No storage space left what is other?

My iPhone4 has run out of storage space but is showing nearly 6 gig marked not as music or videos etc but marked as other what is other and how do you get rid of it

Other is anything that does not fit in the rest of the catergories.
Typically if it is over 1GB that indicates corruption.

I had a Windows 2012 R2 Standard server with GUI running Storage Spaces on some non-raid drives. The OS became corrupted and so I had to reinstall. Upon reinstall I go to Storage Spaces and see everything just as it should be in terms of recovery.
The problem I'm having is the reattaching of the VHD file itself that hosts all of the files. I click attach VHD and it does, nothing shows up Explorer though.
So I go to manage disk drives and it shows all of the individual drives and the large VHD set to offline. I online the drive and the machine just basically locks up.
I tried to do the same thing via powershell but have the same problem with the machine just locking up. Anybody seend this before? I don't really care to actually get the Storage Spaces working at this point, just need access the files themselves
so I can pull them off. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
Generically Storage Space will not be affected with reinstall operation system - if we move all disks to another computer, storage space will still be recognized.
it shows all of the individual drives and the large VHD set to offline
We should not see any disk inside a created storage space in Disk Manager - Virtual Disks created in Storage Space will be listed but not the physical disks. So I need to confirm:
a. Whether "individual drives" means physical disks, or virtual disks created in Storage Space?b.
Whether "VHD" here means virtual disks in Storage Space, or you actually created VHD on virtual disks (in storage space).
If VHD here means virtual disks, you can test to connect all disks to another system which supports Storage Space (Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2) to see if disks could be recognized.
However it seems more likely "VHDs on Virtual disk" - VHD files could corrupt which causes your current situation and if this is true, it will be difficult to get VHD files back to work as we have less option to repair a corrupted VHD file.
