Corrupt $Secure file


Recommended Posts

We recently had a problem resulting in loss of data and I would like to get a

deeper understanding of the possible causes so I can prevent this in the

future.

 

Here are the details:

 

Windows 2003 server standard attached to a StoreVault S500 disk storage

device via a GB iSCSI SAN interface. Disk mounted to a LUN on the Storevault

device. Volume formatted as NTFS.

 

The interface was up and running for several months then we got several

Event IDs 26 and 55 logged as follows:

 

Event Type: Information

Event Source: Application Popup

Event Category: None

Event ID: 26

Date: 2/12/2008

Time: 6:43:47 AM

User: N/A

Computer: <NAME>

Description:

Application popup: WindowsServer2003-KB931300-x86-ENU.exe - Corrupt File :

The file or directory E:\$Secure is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the

Chkdsk utility.

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Ntfs

Event Category: Disk

Event ID: 55

Date: 2/12/2008

Time: 6:43:47 AM

User: N/A

Computer: <NAME>

Description:

The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run

the chkdsk utility on the volume Application.

 

After restarting the Storevault device the drive (E:) was visible from the

server but accessing the device gave a “corrupt disk” error.

 

My question is: what is the file $Secure and what may have corrupted the

file. Understanding this may help me prevent this from occurring again.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
