Critical Low Disk Space Errors 1

[lanrat]

Hi,

Can someone please advise the best action to take in resolving this?

Thanks in advance :^)

NOTE: I have implemented a suggestion I found in another forum to establish separate "data collectors" for each of the logical drives. This has revealed that Volumes C: and D: (both part of the RAID set on my Dell PE840 SBS 2003-R2 box) are OK.
***

The errors can therefore only be pointing to the 244Gb and 221Gb volumes on the External 500Mb "backup" drive connected via USB. But both volumes indicate 80% and 99% free space - right??

I mention the USB ext-hdd specifically because of the question by 'marcdmac' in (closed) thread931-1296889. But I see no reply to his question in that thread or a reason for the question.

The error:

The following disk is low on free disk space. Low levels
of free disk space can cause performance problems and prevent users from saving files on the disk.

Drive Letter:HarddiskVolume22
Free Disk Space: 0.000000. MB
% Free Disk Space: 0.000000.%

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change Alert Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting taskpad.

Hi,

I'm back with the solution found at

http://www.smallbizserver.net/Forum/tabid/53/view/topic/forumid/11/postid/8332/Default.aspx

I've been setting up the 2nd "backup ext-hdd" the past week so I can swap/rotate them for off-site storage regularily and I obviously did not properly "halt the USB device" one or more times during my switching between the two drives.

I found that I had multiple "hidden devices" that were not connected but the system thought they were and reported them as 0 space when it couldn't verify how much space there actually was on the two volumes of the Ext USB HDD.

Deleted the "hidden (USB) devices" via the Device Manager, checked the Health Monitor and bingo... we're good!

Wish they were all that easy hey. :^)

Hope this may be of some help to someone else :-D
