Ununnilium Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm getting a strange error when running a backup: - 6/11/2008 2:38:01 PM: Copying data on RAID6 (F:) Not enough disk space for the Catalog File (short by about 1,717,986,906.5 G) 6/11/2008 7:42:57 PM: Execution incomplete Remaining: 62754 files, 38.6 GB Completed: 0 files, zero KB Performance: 0.0 MB/minute Duration: 05:04:58 (04:46:34 idle/loading/preparing) I have rebuilt the catalog file. Notably, there are >8 million files in the directory I'm backing up, but selectors keep the number of files to ~1.5 million. There must be something strange going on. I am using Single Server Version 7.5.508 with the Driver Update and Hot Fix version 7.5.14.102. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 The disk containing the catalog file may be low on space. How much free space do you have on the drive containing the catalog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 short by about 1,717,986,906.5 G That's pretty substantial. I guess you have disk directory corruption on the source volume. Can you run CHKDSK or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 good eye Lennart. I missed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ununnilium Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I ran CHKDSK and got the following: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>chkdsk F: The type of the file system is NTFS. Volume label is RAID6. WARNING! F parameter not specified. Running CHKDSK in read-only mode. CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... 11222160 file records processed.

I don't know enough to say whether 5 unindexed files processed is a bad thing or how bad it is. Notably, there are approximately 10 million files in the subvolume that is being scanned, but selectors eliminate all but about 1.5 million of them. Could that be the cause? There is 206GB free on the disk where the catalog file is. I'm going to try a recycle backup next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
