Hello. I recently had an issue where the Master File Table on a drive in my storage pool became corrupt (NOTE: All shares are set for folder duplication and have been since they were created). When this drive began to fail, I had all sorts off file conflicts and system health was registering as poor, but I wasn't able to remove the drive from the console, nor was I able to repair the problem from the console. I had to shut down WHS and physically pull the drive and run some diagnostics to find out the MFT was corrupt - I also found out that the MFT mirror had become corrupt as well, so no chance of restoring it. So powered back on the WHS and I removed the now "missing" drive from the WHS console. Eventually all file conflicts dissappeared and WHS indicator went back to healthy.
I was about to look into recovery software to recover data from the pulled drive with the corrupt file structure, but it occurred to me that maybe nothing is missing and that WHS totally cam through for. I have way too many files and directory trees to go through and verify piece by piece, but I am hoping all is as it should be without data recovery measures. Can anyone weigh in on this? Is it possible that there is data contained on the failed drive that is not in the WHS data pool now?
Thank you.
