w2k3 chkdsk errors as vmware 1.8 guest
- by Sean Kirkpatrick
We have two Dell servers (CentOS 5.x) hosting a variety of VMs including 3 W2K3 and 1 W2K servers as guests as well as a handful of other Linux guests.
Each Windows VM has 2 drives, C: and D:. on 2 of the W2K3 and the W2K boxes we have recurring errors appearing on a daily basis as reported by CHKDSK. We'll run CHKDSK /f and reboot all affected machines and the errors are reported as fixed. The next day CHKDSK will report the same errors.
None of the linux guests nor either host report errors when the are rebooted. The RAID controllers are not reporting errors.
We're beginning to think that these are phantom errors somehow, but I'm not willing to go to the bank on that just yet.
Anybody have similar experiences or advice?
Thanks!
