    {Delayed Write Failed} message on Windows 2003 R2 Cluster

    I am receiving the following sequence of events on an R2 3-node
    cluster. What concerns me is the " delayed write failed" message.

    Event Type: Information
    Event Source: Quota
    Event Category: None

    quota usage information is possibly out of date, and the volume will be
    rescanned. This can typically occur as a result of a system crash,
    quota configuration backup/restore, and volume failover in a cluster.
    Once the scan completes quotas will function properly.

    Yea, I would be concerned about that as well. If there is file corruption
    here then the quota information for that file system may be lost as well.
    You can run the 'chkntfs' command against the drive in question to see if
    the dirty bit is being set. If it is, you will need to run a chkdsk
    operation to fix the file system. Typically lost-delayed writes start
    pointing to a hardware issue or a 3rd party app that has a handle on a
    clustered disk and is not releasing when cluster needs to take it offline
    for any reason.

    Thanks Chuck. I checked the drive in question & it is not dirty. I've
    seen this happening only after FSRM was installed & quota was enabled
    on a volume on that drive. Are there any patches & hotfixes that I
    should be aware of as far as FSRM & R2 clustering are concerned?

    Elden wrote KB 244780, and if you have the hex data from the event ID 50,
    you can use that article to decode it. An event ID 50 is the same format as
    a 51..

    Problem with quota in Windows 2003 R2

    Hi, somebody can help me with this error.

    Source: Quota
    Event ID: 11
    A quota scan on directory "\servername\share" on volume "\Device\VSPSnapshot0 (N/A)" failed unexpectedly. Error code: 0xc0000010 The quota usage for the quota on this directory and any parent directories may be incorrect. The affected quotas may not be properly enforced. You can attempt to initiate a new scan using the quota management command line tool. If the problem persists, reboot your system.

    and this error

    A quota scan on directory "\servername\share" on volume "\Device\VSPSnapshot0 (%5)" failed unexpectedly. Error code: 0x%3 The quota usage for the quota on this directory and any parent directories may be incorrect. The affected quotas may not be properly enforced. You can attempt to initiate a new scan using the quota management command line tool. If the problem persists, reboot your system.


    Thanks,
    Sergio Longo.

    Re: {Delayed Write Failed} message on Windows 2003 R2 Cluster

    A "Delayed Write Failed" error typically has a corresponding event id 50 in
    the system event log, which indicates that the operating system is suddenly
    unable to access the physical disk resource. This could explain why the
    errors that you mention were logged if we can't access the disk resources
    temporarily for some reason.

    However to properly troubleshoot this type of problem we would need
    additional information found in the system event log around the same time
    this problem occurred and possibly also from the cluster log so that we could
    correlate events and get a more accurate picture of what was happening on
    your cluster at the time the issue occurred.

    Re: {Delayed Write Failed} message on Windows 2003 R2 Cluster

    Hello there,

    We are also encuntering the same error on our file server cluster. We have
    just installed File Server Resource Manager on the server. It's a bit weird,
    the error seems to pertain to "QUOTA" but we haven't implemented the folder
    quota yet only the file screening feature.

    thanks,
