Resolving Disk Error Problems When a Traditional Volume Is Mounting
To diagnose problems when disk errors occur while a Traditional volume is
mounting, identify whether the following conditions exist:
 The server does not have enough memory to mount the volume.
 The operating system is experiencing directory sector mismatching. This
mismatching can be caused if the media is defective or if the server is
turned off without the DOWN command.
To resolve problems when disk errors while a volume is mounting, do the
following:
 Load MONITOR and check the status of the available cache buffers. If
the cache buffers are fewer than 20%, add more memory to your server.
 Minor errors usually correct themselves through normal network use. For
example, if a FAT entry is wrong, the entry is updated and corrected the
next time it is written to. If errors do not correct themselves, run
VREPAIR.
 Some problems might be corrected automatically by TTS
TM
(Transaction
Tracking System
TM
) software.
