hey guys,
so i have a volume which windows server manager has flagged as requiring an offline scan and repair.
This volume is 128TB and currently only has 1.7tb free. windows server 2016 has a volume size limit of 127tb so i am unable to grow this volume. i also only have 5.27tb free in the storage pool.
i have added another volume to the storage pool which i am using as an overflow drive at the moment and so the original volume frees up abit of space and back ups can continue.
the only thing i can think of to do going forward is enabling windows data deduplication on the drive as this should free up space on the original volume and get me out of trouble but i dont want to do that while its marked as requiring an offline scan and repair.
i am guessing doing a full offline scan and repair will take ages and will mean my backups wont run for a couple of days which i can really get away with.. do i have any other options? was thinking maybe running chk /spotfix but wanting to know if anyone has some better advice?
