Windows Server 2000 File System exceeded?

[protocol167]

I am new to this server administration but for now I figure maybe you guys can help till I get up to speed. This is running on a Window Server 2000.

I am currently getting the below alarm. How can I go about adding or increasing the limit? I checked and I have 5gb of space left on D drive. Also, will it require a reboot after increasing the limit?

Thanks so much for any information you can provide.

File System usage exceeded (Critical) Threshold D:\ Limit 98%

What kind of space do you have on your C:\ drive? Try moving your page file from the C:\ to the d:\ to start and try cleaning up your C:\ a bit.

I think it's drive D: that is having the issue Roadkil1. If you have an alert indicating a threshold of 98% increasing the threshold won't help you .. you are running out of disk space on Drive D:. Check the drive to see what could be chewing up the disk (besides the pagefile).

Your right itsp1965, i misread that, my bad. Probaly need to run a chkdsk on the D:\ drive.

Yeah, sounds like he's got a 100GB data drive on D:\ that's at a predetermined threshold. Free up some space and/or increase your array for D:\.

I'm Certifiable, not cert-ified.
It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.

The server currently have 12gb as the C drive partition and has 4gb left of space on it.

Drive D currently has 261gb and has 8.59gb left of space on it.

So if I was to just somehow move some data or get rid of some data from D drive, this should solve the problem. Or does it have something to do with threshold setting somewhere that I can increase.

Thanks for all your input guys.!

As I have indicated Protocol increasing the threshold temporarily solves your problem.. but you are better off cleaning up some disk space on drive D: instead.

hi folks - does anyone know how to disable these warnings for f.ex drive d: ? We are running Sybase SQL server where we get this alerts all the time because the data-file for the sql-server is using the whole drive
