System Volume is "gone"
Hello everybody, for a couple of days now, my system volume is "gone". It isn´t displayed on my dekstop nor on the finder anymore. When I try to open a file in the open file promt of any software from the volume I got the message that the volume is either unavaible or unvalid (something ike that, i´ve got the german version) I already installed all software updates.
What else could I try?
thanks for your input

Hi!
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. Does it show up?
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Cheers! DALE

Hi!
I recently took over management of a Windows 2003 domain that had only one domain controller. I was building a second DC for redundancy and discovered that the SYSVOL share on the original DC is in "JRNL_WRAP_ERROR" after the SYSVOL and NETLOGON
share would not create on the new DC. This error goes back as far as the log goes back so I don't know how long it has been in this state.
The message in the event log states to enable "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" but I found a KB article that says to use the BurFlags key instead. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762
Should I run an authoritative restore since I don't have another domain controller with a good SYSVOL?
The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.
Replica set name is : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"
Replica root path is : "c:\windows\sysvol\domain"
Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:"
A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to read from the NTFS USN journal is not found. This can occur because of one of the following reasons.
[1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.
[2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
[3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.
[4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long time.
[5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on "\\.\C:".
Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover from this error state.
[1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run "net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs" to restart the File Replication
Service.
[2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set.
WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if this error condition occurs again.
To change this registry parameter, run regedit.
Click on Start, Run and type regedit.
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click down the key path:
"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters"
Double click on the value name
"Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore"
and update the value.
If the value name is not present you may add it with the New->DWORD Value function under the Edit Menu item. Type the value name exactly as shown above.> The message in the event log states to enable "Enable Journal Wrap

The automatic restore process AFAIK will initiate a D2 restore. And if
there's no other DC, sysvol might be gone.
I really would prefer to have control - this means I would do a D4.
Absolutely I would :)

Windows 7 system volume information file
I am not sure which forum to send this to. But I have concerns about any file or folder that I can not access as the owner and administrator of my computer.
You have a file folder on each of my drives called the "System Volume Information" I am unable to access any of these folders. Although I know what they are basically for and know of risks accessing them, but this aside I should be allowed to access
any folder on "MY SYSTEM" if I want to limit access to any folder that is my choice!
I do not feel that those at microsoft or other places have a right to limit what folders I want to access on my systems. I have found other folders and files that have had the system deny me access. I as the owner of my computer and paid a hefty price for
my software should have access to all folders on my system.
Any folder that I can not access tends to lead me to believe that someone is hiding something from me, for lord knows what reason. I have right to access anything on my computer, you are taking that right away from me, In my opinion.
What is it that microsoft is hiding? It has been rumored that microsoft has hidden a version of spyware in these files. I know for a fact you do have a limited version of spyware hidden in your operating system and other MS programs.
Question is to what extent have you gone, is this why you hide files and folders from the end user???
There is such a thing as privacy and against the law to invade it at least here in Canada, no patriot act here, that puts you or anyone above the law.
With limited respect.
Hello,
I'd ask in the

[Forum FAQ] Reduce the size of System Volume Information folder
Symptom
There is a folder called System Volume Information in the root of each drive. (Figure 1)
Sometimes, you may find the size of System Volume Information folder is too large. However,
it is not recommended to delete the files in it casually since
the System Volume information folder is
created by the Operating System and used by Windows for storing critical information related to the system configuration.
Figure 1.
Note:
The System Volume Information folder
is a hidden system folder on each drive by default, you can show the hidden files and folders before accessing it.
Cause
In general, the System Volume Information folder contains
System Restore points, Distributed Link Tracking Service databases, Content Indexing Service databases, WinFS databases and information used by the Volume
Snapshot Service.
If you enable shadow copies on a volume, more and more VSS snapshots will be created in the "System Volume Information" folder. Then the size of this folder will become
too large.
Solution
You can follow the steps below to free up the space of System Volume Information folder safely:
1. Delete the GUIDs files in System Volume Information folder using DiskShadow.exe.
1) Open a command prompt with administrator privilege, then type “DiskShadow.exe” at the command prompt.
2) Type “Delete shadows OLDEST <BackupStorageLocation>”
at the command prompt.
3) Type “Exit” to exit DiskShadow.exe.
Note: Theoldestshadow
copy in the folder will be deleted each time
you run the commands. Before you run those commands, please
make sure the oldest shadow copy is not useful to you.
2. Changing the amount of disk space available to VSS
1) Right-click on the drive you want to configure, and click “Properties”.
2) Click “Shadow Copies” and then click “Settings”. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
3) Choose “Use limit" and type the maximum size you want to set for the shadow copies, then click “Ok”.
(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
Note: The extra shadow copies would be deleted in System Volume Information folder once you
configure the Maximum size to a lower value than before.It
will delete the older shadow copies firstly. Before you configure this setting, please make sure that you have enough space
to create shadow copies.

We have a problem with one of our deployments of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V with a 2 node cluster connected to a iSCSI SAN.
Our setup:
Hosts - Both run Windows Server 2012 Standard and are clustered.
HP ProLiant G7, 24 GB RAM. This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM. This is the secondary host that and is intended to be used in case of failure of the primary host.
We have no antivirus on the hosts and the scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off.
iSCSI SAN:
QNAP NAS TS-869 Pro, 8 INTEL SSDSA2CW160G3 160 GB i a RAID 5 with a Host Spare. 2 Teamed NIC.
Switch:
DLINK DGS-1210-16 - Both the network cards of the Hosts that are dedicated to the Storage and the Storage itself are connected to the same switch and nothing else is connected to this switch.
Virtual Machines:
3 Windows Server 2012 Standard - 1 DC, 1 FileServer, 1 Application Server.
1 Windows Server 2008 Standard Exchange Server.
All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
Updates
We have applied the most resent updates to the Hosts, VMs and iSCSI SAN about 3 weeks ago with no change in our problem and we continually update the setup.
Normal operation:
Normally this setup works just fine and we see no real difference in speed in startup, file copy and processing speed in LoB applications of this setup compared to a single host with two 10000 RPM Disks. Normal network speed is 10-200 Mbit, but occasionally
we see speeds up to 400 Mbit/s of combined read/write for instance during file repair.
Our Problem:
Our problem is that for some reason a random VHDX gets copied to System Volume Information by "System" of the Clusterd Shared Storage (i.e. C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\System Volume Information).
All VMs stops responding or responds very slowly during this copy process and you can for instance not send CTRL-ALT-DEL to a VM in the Hyper-V console, or for instance start task manager when already logged in.
This happens at random and not every day and different VHDX files from different VMs gets copied each time. Some time it happens during daytime wich causes a lot of problems, especially when a 200 GB file gets copied (which take a lot of time).
What it is not:
We thought that this was connected to the backup, but the backup had finished 3 hours before the last time this happended and the backup never uses any of the files in System Volume Information so it is not the backup.
An observation:
When this happend today I switched on ShadowCopy (previous files) and set it to only to use 320 MB of storage and then the Copy Process stopped and the virtual Machines started responding again. This could be unrelated since there is no way to see
how much of the VHDX that is left to be copied, so it might have been finished at the same time as I enabled ShadowCopy (previos files).
Our question:
Why is a VHDX copied to System Volume Information when scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off? As far as I know, nothing should be copied to this folder when this functionis switched off?

Please only answer our question and do not offer any general optimization tips that do not directly adress the issue! We want the problem to go away, not to finish a bit faster!Hallo Lawrence!
Thankyou for youre reply, some comments to help you and others who read this thread:
First of all, we use Windows Server 2012 and the VHDX as I wrote in the headline and in the text in my post. We have not had this problem in similar setups with Windows Server 2008 R2, so the problem seem to be introduced in Windows Server 2012.
These posts that you refer to seem to be outdated and/or do not apply to our configuration:
The post about Dynamic Disks:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx is only a recommendation for Windows Server 2008 R2 and the VHD format. Dynamic VHDX is indeed recommended by Microsoft when using Windows Server 2012 (please look in the optimization guide
for Windows Server 2012).
Infact, if we use fixed VHDX then we would have a bigger problem since fixed VHDX are generaly larger then Dynamic Disks, i.e. more data would be copied and that would take longer time = the VMs would be unresponsive for a longer time.
The post "What's the deal with the System Volume Information folder"
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2003/11/20/55764.aspx is for Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 and some things has changed since then. for instance In Windows Server 2012, Shadow Copies cannot be controlled by going to Control panel -> System.
Instead you right-click on a Drive (i.e. a Volume, for instance the C drive/Volume) in Computer and then click "Configure Shadow Copies".
Windows Server 2008 R2 Backup problem
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsbackup/thread/0fc53adb-477d-425b-8c99-ad006e132336 - This post is about the Antivirus software trying to scan files used during backup that exists in the System Volume Information folder and we do not
have any antivirus software installed on our hosts as I stated in my post.
Comment that might help us:
So according to “System Volume Information” definition, the operation you mentioned is Volume Shadow Copy. Check event viewer to find Volume Shadow Copy related event logs and post them.
Why?
Furhter investigation suggests that a volume shadow copy is somehow created even though the Schedule for Shadows Copies is turned off for all drives. This happens at random and we have not found any pattern. Yesterday this operation took almost all available
disk space (over 200 GB), but all the disk space was released when I turned on scheduled Shadow Copies for the CSV.
I therefore draw these conclusions:
The CSV Volume has about 600 GB of disk space and since Volume Shadows Copy used 200 GB, or about 33% of the disk space, and the default limit is 10% then I conclude that for some reason the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy did not have any limit (or ignored
the limit).
When I turned on the Schedule I also change the limit to the minimum amount which is 320 MB and this is probably what released the disk space. That is, the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy operation was aborted and it adhered to the limit and deleted the
Volume Shadow Copy it had taken.
I have also set the limit for Volume Shadow Copies for all other volumes to 320 MB by using the "Configure Shadow Copies" Window that you open by right clicking on a drive (volume) in Computer and then selecting "Configure Shadow Copies...".
It is important to note that setting a limit for Shadow Copy Storage, and disabaling the Schedule are two different things! It is possible to have unlimited storage for Shadow Copies when the Schedule is disabled, however I do not know if this was the case
Before I enabled Shadow Copies on the CSV since I did not look for this.
I now have defined a limit for Shadow Copy Storage to 320 MB on all drives and then no VHDX should be copied to System Volume Information since they are all larger than 320 MB.
Does this sound about right or am I drawing the wrong conclusions?

There is something strange about the limits on the Secondary host!
I have not in any way changed the settings on the Secondary host and as you can see, the Secondary host has a maximum limit of only 35 MB storage on the CSV, but it also shows that this is 10% of the Volume. This is clearly not the case since 10% if 600
GB = 60 GB!
The question is, why does it by default set a too small limit (i.e. < 320 MB) on the CSV and is this the cause of the problem? I.e. is the limit ignored since it is smaller than the smallest amount you can provide using the GUI?
Is the default 35 MB maximum Shadow Copy limit a bug, or is there any logical reason for setting a limit that according to the GUI is too small? -
We had a major storm over the weekend which caused an unexpected shutdown.
I am having an issue with one of my domain controller with Event ID 13568
The domain controller which is running Windows Server 2012 was added successfully just a couple of days ago.
I do not have a full backup of the server yet.
It only has a GC role on it.
What are the things I should look out for before I attempt to Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore and set it to 1?
Would it be safer to just demote the server and start from scratch?
Thank you all for reading!

Controlling TV Speakers Indirectly with Apple Remote via System Volume
My Mac Mini is connected to a Sony TV via an HDMI cable. I would like to control the volume of the TV speakers indirectly by controlling the Mac Mini system volume with my Apple remote. But when I attempt to change the volume the speaker icon appears and is grayed out.
What do I need to do in order to control the TV speakers indirectly with my Apple Remote by adjusting the Mac Mini system volume?As standard Macs do not support controlling the volume of an attached TV connected to the HDMI port. This feature is called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
There is at least one adaptor which can 'insert' the CEC commands, see http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx
This adaptor however requires the software you are using to have support for driving this adaptor, therefore it does not look like the generic Mac volume control in association with the Apple remote would control it. Why you ask did I mentioned it then? Well XBMC (XBox Media Center) for the Mac does supprt this adaptor, you can therefore use XBMC on the Mac to play movies to your TV and control the volume of the TV.
If you can write software, you could also in theory use their library to add a more generic volume control. -
The text/email/alerts sound volume has gone right down on my iPhone 4
The text/email/alerts sound volume has gone right down on my iPhone 4, but the ringtone volume is still loud! Adjusting the volume in "Settings" only changes the ringer volume, I just can't find a way to increase the alerts volume! Help please!!!
Hi ecsands,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To "Choose alert sounds, adjust the alert volume, or turn vibrate on or off: Go to Settings > Sounds."
For more information, see Pg. 28 - 29 of the iPhone User Guide:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone
If adjusting the volume doesn't help, see the "Acoustic-speaker/microphone/receiver" section of this article for some troubleshooting steps:

Running v10.4 (intel) on a UFS formatted system volume
Hello,
My (recently deceased) iBook ran Mac OS X v10.3, and I used to be able to install it onto a UFS formatted system volume. This was very useful to me in my work.
My new MacBook with v10.4 doesn't seem to allow this option during the install process. If I manually partition/erase the disk as UFS, the installer tells me it cannot continue until I've selected a target volume formatted with HFS+.
There doesn't seem to be anything about this sort of limitation on the Apple Knowledgebase - all documents referring to UFS that I've found seem to mention Mac OS X v10.4 in the context that it also supports running from a UFS system volume, just as in v10.3.
Am I missing something?
MacBook 13" 2.0GHz Duo (black) Mac OS X (10.4.6)I've got one of these as my "travel" laptop (where the trip might be 2-3 months long): http://www.notebooks.com/2009/05/26/hp-mini-110-netbook-introduced/
I run CF8, CF9, Apache, SQL Server 2008, CF Builder and half a dozen Firefox windows on it simultaneously, and it runs fine.
It was quite sluggish with the default 1GB of RAM, but I upped it to 2GB and it's fine. It's not like lightning, but it's fine for working now.
I will also say that the display on it is too small for coding on for any length of time, but if one plugs ane external monitor in, it supports 1280x1024 OK, which is adequate to work on. Plus I have plugged in a keyboard and a mouse.

Missing "System Volume Information" from a Drive
Hi,
I am trying to setup FSRM in Windows 2012 and while adding G:\ for file screen, I get the following error. Upon investigating the issue, I found that "System Volume Information" is missing under G:\ and same folder very much exists in C: and other
drives except G:\. Therefore FSRM doesn't allow me to add G:\ for file screening.
Event ID 8197
File Server Resource Manager Service error: Unexpected error.
Error-specific details:
Error: RtlCreateSystemVolumeInformationFolder on volume C:?\Volume{bca40430-5752-11e3-93fe-001dd8b71cad} returned 0x5, 0x8000ffff, Catastrophic failure
Any thoughts and how can I get that folder back so I can configure FSRM?
thanks in advance.
MerwinHello,
System volume information folder is a very important system folder for the file system to work properly, besides the issue you have with FSRM.
I would reccomend to backup up the entire drive as a precaution. Try to fix FS errors by executing "chkdsk g: /f" (you may temporarily turn system restore off).
In case nothing works, you have always the option to format the Drive and restore the FS structure.

External Speakers - System Volume at Startup
I recently hooked external speakers up to my macbook, and I've been experiencing an annoying problem. Whenever I start or restart the macbook, the system volume turns itself down to 50 percent, i.e at the time I shut the macbook down, the system volume is up to max volume; I then restart and it turns down to 50 percent.
Any ideas on how I can get it to stay at 100 percent unless I turn it down manually -- the same way the internal speakers work -- or is this just a system quirk designed to protect my sensitive ears and/or speakers?
Macbook 2 GHz Processor Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2 GB RAM UpgradeHi
You should be able to set the startup volume setting to whatever you like using MacOS X's Automator. The appropriate script is in the "System" category. Just modify it by putting the slider to the desired value. You don't have to save after the modification because it's a standard startup script that is used by MacOS X itself automatically after reboot.

Firefox 12 freezes when system volume is above 50%.
I'm using firefox 12, and when i watch a youtube video, or if i play music with any player, firefox hangs if the system volume is 50% or more. It hangs for 2-3 seconds, then comes back, then hangs again. I'm on a hp laptop with 8 gb of ram, intel i7 and idt high definition soundcard.
ok, this may be the strangest bug i ever heard of. i would try to download the latest drivers for your soundcard & graphics hardware, uninstall abobe flash with the [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html uninstaller they provide] and reinstall it from [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/]. another thing would be to try disabling all plugins in firefox > addons > plugins for testing purposes and see if this does make any difference.
in case this does not solve the issue it would also be interesting to know what is going on in the windows task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) while firefox is hanging - is firefox.exe or any other process is spiking to 100% cpu usage or is there an exceptional amount of memory occupied? -
$Recycle.Bin or system volume inforamation virus
Hi, I recently purchase the windows 8 Laptop , in that after windows 8 updates installation "$recycle.bin & System Volume Information" folder are created in all partion folders like C,D, i thinking as a virus folders,
because of I am unable to delete this folders in my system, this folders are created in all my hard drives. I want remove this virus. How can I do this one.Hi
These 2 folders are normal for Windows installation, not virus.
$recycle.bin contains the data for the Recycle Bin and the System Volume Information contains the Restore Points for System Restore on each drive.
These folders are normally Hidden, by default.

What is this information you think you need to keep and from where are you getting it? You need to provide more detail as to what you're asking about and what you're attempting to accomplish before anyone can provide much in the way of useful guidance.
