Windows 8.1 and Disk and Files Systems Repair Failure Issues

Recently I have seen issues with many customers computers showing a "Windows needs to restart to fix disk issues" error reported from the action center. In all of the computers since the release of Windows 8.1 that have received this error, upon
restarting, have either locked or continued to give the same error as before. The way we have been fixing it is backing up the data, reloading windows then restoring the data from an external (as UEFI will not keep file integrity in 8 or 8.1) while the OS
is up and running. Most of the time I have noticed that when a customer installs any 3rd party software the error returns. Is their a patch for this or is the easiest way just to disable notifications from action center?

Hi,
You can first try to use Startup Repair option in WinRE to check the issue.
If you just would like to hide such notification, refer to this guide:

  • Crashes and read-only file systems

    Notice: I apolgize for the long post, I've tried to be as thorough as possible.  I have searched everywhere for possible solutions, but things I've found end up being temporary workarounds or don't apply to my situation.  Any help, even as simple as, "have you checked out XYZ log, it's hidden here", would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
    I'm not sure what exactly caused the issues below, but they did start to happen within a day of running pacman -Syu.  I hadn't run that since I first installed Arch on December 2nd of this year.
    Setup:
    Thinkpad 2436CTO
    UEFI/GPT
    SSD drive
    Partitions: UEFISYS, Boot, LVM
    The LVM is encrypted and is broken up as: /root, /var, /usr, /tmp, /home
    All LVM file systems are EXT4 (used to have /var and /tmp as ReiserFS)
    The first sign that something was wrong was gnome freezing.  Gnome would then crash and I'd get booted back to the shell with all filesystems mounted as read-only.  I started having the same issues as this OP:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704
    At the time, I had /var and /tmp as ReiserFS, and would also get reiserfs_read_locked_inode errors.
    When shutting down (even during non-crashed sessions) I would notice this during shutdown:
    Failed unmounting /var
    Failed unmounting /usr
    Followed by a ton of these:
    device-mapper: remove ioctl on <my LVM group> failed: Device or resource busy
    Nother of these errors had ever appeared before.
    After hours of looking for solutions (and not finding any that worked) I was convinced (without any proof) that my Reiser file systems were corrupt and so I reformatted my entire SSD and started anew - not the Arch way, I know   I set all logical volumes as EXT4.
    After started anew, I noticed
    device-mapper: remove ioctl on LVM_SysGroup failed: Device or resource busy
    was still showing up, even with just a stock Arch setup (maybe even when powering off via Arch install ISO, don't remember).  After a lot of searching, I found that most people judged it a harmless error, so I ignored it and continued setting up Arch.
    I set up Gnome and a basic LAMP server, and everything seemed to work for a couple of hours.  Soon after, I got the same old issues back.  The System-journald issue came back and per the workaround on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704 and a couple other places, I rotated the journals and stopped journald from saving to storage.  That seemed to stop THOSE errors from at least overwhelming the shell, but I would still get screen freezes, crashes, and read-only file systems.
    I had to force the laptop to power off, since poweroff/reboot/halt commands weren't working (would get errors regarding the filesystems mounted as read-only).
    I utilized all disk checking functions possible.  From running the tests (SMART test included) that came as part of my laptop's BIOS to full blown fsck.  All tests showed the drive was working fine, and Fsck would show everything was either clean, or
    Clearing orphaned inode ## (uid=89, gid=89, mode=0100600, size=###
    Free blocks count wrong (###, counted=###)
    Which I would opt to fix.  Nothing serious, though.
    I could safely boot back into Arch and use the system fine until the system decides to freeze/crash and do the above all over again.
    The sure way of recreating this for me is to run a cron job on a local site I'm developing. After a brief screen freeze (mouse still moveable but everything is otherwise unreponsive) I'll systemctl status mysqld.service and notice that mysqld went down.
    It seems that it's at this point my file systems are mounted as read only, as trying to do virtually anything results in:
    unable to open /var/db/sudo/...: Read-only file system
    After some time, X/Gnome crashes and I get sent back to shell with
    ERROR: file_stream_metrics.cc(37)
    RecordFileError() err = 30 source = 1 record = 0
    Server terminated successfully (0)
    Closing log file.or_delegate.h(30)] sqlite erro1, errno 0: SQL logic error or missing database[1157:1179
    rm: cannot remove '/tmp/serverauth.teuroEBhtl': Read-only file system
    Before all this happened, I was using Arch just fine for a few weeks.  I wiped the drives and started anew, and this still happens with just the minimal number of packages installed.
    I've searched for solutions to each individual problem, but come across a hack that doesn't solve anything (like turning off storing logs for journal), or the solution doesn't apply to my case.
    At this point, I'm so overwhelmed I'm not even sure where exactly to pick up figuring this issue out.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Did this occur when you booted from the live/install media?
    What is your current set up? That is, partitions, filesystems etc. I take it you have not yet reinstalled X but are in the default CLI following installation?
    If turning off log storage didn't help, reenable it so that you may at least stand a chance of finding something useful.
    What services, if any, are you running? What non-default daemons etc.?
    Does it happen if you keep the machine off line?
    Have you done pacman -Syu since installation and dealt with any *.pacnew files?

  • WebLogic as Windows 2000 service over s shared file system

    I am trying to install weblogic as a Windows 2000 service over a
    shared file system with no sucess
    (the shared fie system is provided by windows 2000 cluster services).
    I am using the srvany utility to have the script that launches
    weblogic be run as a service (I need this
    because I must launch 2 instances of weblogic in the same machine
    as services, i cannot do this
    with the bea service tools, having different configurations for
    the classpath, or can I?)
    The service works if weblogic is not installed in a shared file
    system.
    On the shared file system, it fails (The service fails, is unabble
    to start). I also made a script on the local file
    system, that calls the weblogic script on the shared file system,
    but weblogic fails to start (with no
    message) when loading from the weblogic.classpath
    thanks for your attenction,

    I have also tried running the service with the bea tools, with no
    sucess when running in
    the shared file system.
    When i start the service, it seems to start ok, then stops. with
    no message.
    Nothing is written to the log, any ideas?

  • Error message "Live file system repair is not supported."

    System won't boot. Directed to Disk Utility to repair but get error message "Live file system repair is not supported."  Appreciate all help.
    Thanks.

    I recently ran into a similar issue with my Time Machine backup disk. After about 6 days of no backups - I had swapped the disk for my photo library for a media project; I reattached the Time Machine disk and attempted a backup.
    Time Machine could not backup to the disk. Running Disk Utility and attempting to Repair the disk ended up returning the "Live file system repair is not supported" message.
    After much experimentaion with disk analysis softwares, I came to the realization that the issue might be that the USB disk dock wasn't connected directly to the MacBook Pro - it was daisy-chained through a USB Hub.
    Connecting the USB disk dock directly to the MBP and running Disk Utility appears to have resolved the issue. DU ran for about 6 hours and succesfully repaired the disk. Consequently, I have been able to use that Time Machine disk for subsequent backups.

  • Reloading iphoto library and streamlining iphoto file system.

    I had a hard-disk failure recently, and lost a lot of photos: basically all the full size files. Only the thumbnails remained on the system disk, so when I had the new drive installed, the engineer made these the iphoto library.
    Fortunately, I had most of my photos backed up on a separate harddrive (in the 'originals' folder). What is the best way of putting these into my iphoto library in place of the thumbnails already there? (ie, don't want to see both in iphoto).
    I'd put the iPhoto library on the separate hard-disk, but unbeknownst to me, about a year ago, iPhoto began saving imports on the system drive again, so these were the pictures I lost.
    On another point, since I installed iphoto 6, the location of photos has become confusing, with the whole photo library pre-iphoto 6 duplicated in a folders called 'Originals' and 'Data'. Neither of these maintain the original easily navigable and logical date hierarchy file structure, but have saved all photos in a folder marked 2007, by roll number. The date folders which remain only contain a 'data' folder containing .attr files. Not very practical.
    In short the whole thing is a mess: for some photos the system has saved 5 copies in various places.
    Is there anything that can be done to consolidate the iPhoto library and put it back on a date-based filing system?

    raggabishp
    To start at the end:
    Is there anything that can be done ... put it back on a date-based filing system?
    No, once you use iPhoto 6, that's the file system. But it's not that difficult to follow: A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    Finding the Picture file is easy: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Rolls in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
    So the structure is different, but - especially if you use the Film Rolls view - very straightforward.
    There is no easy way to rid yourself of these 'thumbs become originals'. If the thumbs have the same filenames as the Originals, then you could overwrite the thumbs with the Originals, but you would need to do that on a file by file basis, I'm afraid.
    Other than that, compare the full size pics with the thumbs and trash the duplicates is all I can suggest.

  • How to add disk to disk group File System in oracle windows

    Hi all
    Please any body can help ... I need to know how can I add disk to disk group
    I have Oralce 11g Database RAC Setup with 2 nodes node1 and node2 , ASM not enabled , Windows OS 2003 , I have shared storage (G, H and O ) My system administrator add additional SAN Storage (R) to my setup, how can I add the new disk to disk group.
    Please help

    I have Oralce 11g Database RAC Setup with 2 nodes node1 and node2 , ASM not enabled , Windows OS 2003 , I have shared storage (G, H and O ) My system administrator add additional SAN Storage (R) to my setup, how can I add the new disk to disk group.If ASM is not enabled that mean, Database is running on normal file system?
    Hi thanks for you help.,,, But my system admnistrator already did thies steps,... I think my question was not clear enough
    I mean after I add the disk group from O.S side what shall I do from Oracle Side? Since From windows explorer I can see the new drive.If the volumes are ready, you can use ASMCA to configure diskgroups.

  • HFS and case sensitive file systems

    I recently received a pre-installed Macbook. The file system is HFS+ (Apple_HFS according to 'diskutil list').
    This file system is not case sensitive but I would like it to be. Is there a way to deactivate the HFS wrapper responsible for that without formatting the disk and re-installing the OS from scratch ?

    I got issues synchronizing my linux account with my macosx account
    If it's home directory contents that's the issue, you might consider simply partitioning your drive and creating a separate home directory partition that is case sensitive, separate from the boot partition tht is not.
    Assuming you're on an Intel-based machine, you can resize the existing partition to make room, then create a new case-sensitive partition and move your home directory there.
    Now your account synchronization shouldn't have an issue and you didn't have to re-install the entire OS.

  • Asmca has grayed out Volumes and ASM Cluster File Systems 11.2.0.3

    I've got a two node cluster which is up and running with the latest 11.2.0.3 grid install on Oracle Linux 6.3
    I need to get a shared storage location I can use for File I/O testing, ASM looks like the solution with an ASM Cluster File System.
    When I run asmca I do not have the ability to create these volumes or file systems as they are Grayed out.
    I found some instructions on how to get it to work, and they said to use acfsload to start up the required daemons:
    [root@oracleA bin]# ./acfsload start -s
    ACFS-9459: ADVM/ACFS is not supported on this OS version: '2.6.39-300.17.3.el6uek.x86_64'
    I installed Patches: 13146560, 14596051 - Which I thought would fix the problem. Rebooted after successfully applying the patches, but asmca still shows them greyed out
    and not supported on this OS error persists.
    I see some posts online saying to edit osds_acfslib.pm and update it to allow for the supported ORACLE version
    Right now it shows: ($release =~ /^oraclelinux-release/))) # Oracle Linux
    under /etc it only has oracle-release - could that have something to do with it not passing the check?
    uname -r
    2.6.39-300.17.3.el6uek.x86_64
    From what I can tell this kernal should support asm..
    Any help in getting these shared storage asm disks setup would be very helpful, oracleasm creates them and sees them fine for databases. Thanks.

    Turns out the Kernel version 2.6.39 does not have support for the ASM Drivers for the ACFS mounting.
    I'm going to have to use Oracle Linux 6.2 (instead of Oracle Linux 6.3) and rebuild my RAC to get a supported version of the drivers -> Kernel version 2.6.32

  • Backup and restore Root File system

    Hi
    Can I take backup of Root File system using ufsdump and later restore it (Root file system) completely using ufsrestore?
    Please give me the steps or a link
    Thanks in advance
    Ashraf.

    In short yes. But the steps depends on where you are going to store the backup and if you are running Sparc or x86 and what you do with your disk in between.
    Boot in single user.
    example# ufsdump 0cfu /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
    /dev/rmt/0 (tape) can be another partions file /backup/root_backup
    For restore it must be safeest to boot from CD.
    Mount your disk to restore to under /a
    cd /a
    ufsrestore rf /dev/rmt/0 (or your file /backup/root_backup)
    If the partition is reformatted you may have to install new bootblocks.
    Please read some from docs.sun.com
    This is just an advice, not detailed workorder.....

    I have a toshiba A505-S6980 and suddenly windows will not load up and start.  I did get to safe mode and saw some windows files load up but safe mode doesn't really open up windows where I can do anything.  I have a System Repair Disc and the System Recovery discs I can run but I can't get to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard.  How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?

    How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?
    After you have loaded the repair disc, shut down the computer. Then power it up and press F12 to reach the boot-priority menu. Select the optical drive there.
       What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    If you can't boot from the repair disc, there's something wrong with the hardware, the BIOS, or the disc.

  • CS4 and Case Sensitive File Systems

    Does anyone know if CS4 will support case sensitive file systems?

    While I do wish all software companies including Apple completely
    supported the case-sensitive file system. Many don't. I cannot pull up
    an article, but I remember reading that Apple only recommended the use
    of the case-sensitive file system for OS X server and if memory serves
    even for that it only recommended it for the attached hard drives.
    We can lament the lack of support but if you really want to change the
    status quo for Adobe products then the only useful way to do so is:

  • New Macbook and Linux(ferdora) file system ext3

    Hello all.
    I am getting a new Macbook.
    My home file server runs Fedora Core5 with a file system of ext3.
    Will the Mac be able to have read/write access?
    I did not know if anyone has any experience with this?
    I want to use the mac as my day to day computer but keep much of my files on my home linux box. That way I can keep adding drives.
    Also.. under linux I can map a drive or folder to any folder
    I want .... so that the network drive appears to be a folder in the file system and not new drive.
    Is this possible in the apple world?
    Thanks for the insight.

    I am in the LINUX world.
    I am moving to a Apple world just for my "interface" and form factor.
    I use notebooks as my primary computer. You cannot beat the form factor and the "cool" factor of the macbook.
    Getting linux to work on a laptop with all of different configs is difficult. I have 2 that work but they are not as "slick" as the macbook.
    therefore I am planning to use a macbook as my primary computer and have linux (fedora) running on my home based computers, File server, guest computer etc.
    Thanks for your help. Samba would work. But I was hoping for a more direct connection and the ability to mount a drive/folder in my mac filesystem. - which I do not know the mac file system at all.
    Thanks again. I am off to google somemore... and see what I turn up.

  • Flash drive somehow corrupt.  Finder won't recognize it and Disk Utility won't repair it

    I have a 16 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive.  Somehow, and I haven't figured it out yet, but is got corrupted and Finder won't recognize anymore.  So I opened Disk Utility and verified the disk and it said that it needed to be repaired.  So I tried it and I got the message saying "Disk Erase failed with the error:  File system formatter failed."  And when I try to reformat it, I get the same message.  I've tried it with a PC as well but it doesn't show up and Disk Manager won't reformat it either.  I've given up on recovering the files, but I still would like to recover the drive.  Any solutions would be appreciated. 

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
